Throughout history, school violence has been a problem everywhere. It is only human nature to be violent and repressive towards weaker comrades. Some examples of school violence are bullying, mass killings, as well as psychological problems that go unnoticed or ignored by staff and doctors. While there are still many problems that still occur today, there are numerous organizations that help stop or prevent violence in schools. School violence can never be suppressed, but it is our job to discover the origins, the effects, the causes, how people are trying to solve the problem and how the problem is decreasing or increasing. School violence is therefore a difficult topic to understand. it is difficult to prevent. Some argue that access to firearms is the cause of violence in schools. For example, during the 1980s and early 1990s gun violence spiked as more teenagers had access to guns (CRF). Studies show that 75% of school deaths are the result of firearms (CRF). A school interview showed that 28% of students handled a firearm outside of parental supervision (CRF). Since many legal firearms dealers do not perform background checks on their clients and students have easy access to these weapons, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a measure that would “simplify the system for tracking criminals, mental patients and students under 18". ”(CRF).Although many say school violence is the result of access to guns, others say school violence is a product of the media and bad parenting. In 1963, professors A. Badura, D. Ross and SA Ross gathered 100 preschool children and divided them into four groups. Groups 1, 2 and 3 were all exposed to different types of violence. Group 1 was exposed to a live man insulting and hitting a doll. Group 2 was exposed to high-level school violence and learned from the past with events such as the Columbine massacre. To help prevent the problem of school violence, parents need to distance themselves from violent shows and keep weapons such as firearms and knives well hidden. Schools need more victim recovery to stop any future acts of violence. In conclusion, all schools in the United States should follow all safety procedures and stop acts of school violence before they occur.
