Youth Violence

In the United States, an estimated 50 million students have entered kindergartens until the 12th grade. An additional 15 million students are enrolled in universities and universities nationwide. Schools in the United States are still relatively safe, but we can not tolerate any amount of violence. Parents, teachers and administrators hope that the school is a safe learning paradise. Violence can confuse the learning process and have a negative impact on the students, the school itself, and a wider community.

School violence is the violence of youth that occurs in the school grounds, in and out of school or school sponsorship, or school-sponsored activities.

School violence is part of youth violence and is a wider public health problem. Violence is the physical exercise or power of other people, groups or communities who intentionally make physical or psychological harm. Adolescent violence usually includes people between the ages of 10 and 24, but infantile violence may begin in early childhood.

Youth violence: Violence by young people aged 10 to 24, usually children, adolescents and young people. Young people may become victims, criminals, or both. Adolescent violence includes aggressive behaviors such as abuse, bullying, combat, beating, boxing, and so on. These actions have serious consequences, but usually do not lead to serious injury or death. Youth violence includes illegal acts such as serious violence and extreme violence, robbery, rape and rape and murder by youth. In addition to causing injuries and death, youth violence can also disrupt the community by increasing medical expenses, decreasing productivity, lowering property value, and declining social services.

Adolescent violence is the leading cause of death among young people and young people. Juvenile violence in the form of bullying, slapping, blowing, etc. can cause serious mental damage, non-fatal injury, and long-term problems. Young people who are victims of violence also face other physical and mental health risks such as smoking, drug use, depression, academic problems, suicide. When youth violence occurs, the entire community is affected. Children can not play outdoors if communities and playgrounds are not safe. If young people are afraid to attend school, they can neither learn nor succeed. Violence also hurts families, businesses and other communities due to increased medical expenses, lower value of property, increased disturbing behavioral services.
