Teen Violence In US High Schools
In the past 20 years, high school violence has risen to a unfathomable level. In the early 50's minor bullying was the main concern. Now, some schools in downtown cities have metal detectors that teens have to go through just to get into the school. More and more police officers are being hired just to patrol and watch local high schools. Why is the violence level getting so high? Why do so many teens act out in violent outbursts?
A recent report was done in San Mateo county and a Hillsdale student was charged with violently threatening students and using pipe bombs. He also was carrying a sword and chainsaw! This teen was obviously a little mentally unstable, but most likely got the idea from a violent movie of video game.
When he was later taken into custody he claimed that he wasn't being serious. Any teen that brings any type of weapon to a public school should treated like a terrorist.
What are some things communities like yours do in order to stop teen violence? Some ideas and suggestions are listed below:
- If you suspect your teen is depressed and has angry or violent attitude, get help immediately.
- If your teen or someone young you know mentions they heard someone who is looking to harm someone at school, take them seriously.
- And last but not least is watching your teen and also being aware of their feelings. You as a parent can help and stop a school shooting.
