Factors Causing School Violence
In this paper I will discuss and describe several factors leading to violence within the school system. The factors contributing to violence in schools such as environment, family, social activity, psychological problems, Internet and many others. Not having proper support from parents and growing up in single family environments are leading factors. Sometimes an older brother or sister are raising the family due to the parents having to work or working more than one job, as the children are not getting the home training they need.

“A 2006 study by the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Justice reveals that public schools experiencing violent incidents increased from 71 to 81 percent over a five-year period (1999-2004). The same study reports that the percentage of students who reported gang presence at school increased from 21 percent in 2003 to 24 percent in 2005. Although no direct connection between gang activity and school violence can be established, the initiation of gang activity in neighborhoods and schools does frequently coincide with increased violence reports.”

Ideally, good parents nurture and reinforce positive behavior. But when parents fail to do so, children develop negative and often violent behavior patterns.

In homes where positive behavior is not the norm, exposure to violence through popular culture has a more serious impact.

School violence has also been linked to the change in communities. Constantly changing school demographics often reflect on violence in schools. Although our culture expects the family to deal with childhood problems, contemporary society makes it difficult for parents to meet all their children's needs. The current economy, for example, often demands that both parents work; more children are raised by single parents including teenage mothers; and some children are subjected to their parents neglect or physical, sexual, and substance abuse. When a child is abused at home they have a tendency to bring that anger into school and commit acts of violence on someone they think they can over power.

After researching this issue I have come to the conclusion that society and parents play a large role in school violence. Yes it is the child who makes the decision to commit the act of violence but majority of the time they are not given the support or education from their parents to be a active member of society. As young adults we should be leaders and not followers but it can be hard not to act violently or commit violence when that’s what you grow up around. If the adults try to make a better environment for the kids or give them more activities besides hanging on corners maybe the violence is schools will drop. I do believe that one day the rate of school violence can drop but it will take hard work from parents, society, teachers and the students themselves.

Middle school students are more than twice as likely as high school students to be affected by school violence. Seven percent of eighth graders stay home at least once a month to avoid a bully. The typical victim of an attack or robbery at school is a male in the seventh grade that is assaulted by a boy his own age. Studies suggest two reasons for the higher rates of middle school violence. First, early adolescence is a difficult age. Young teenagers are often physically hyperactive and have not learned acceptable social behavior. Second, many school students have come into contact for the first time with young people from different backgrounds and distant neighborhoods.

School violence does not limit itself to the student population. Several teachers say they are threatened with violence on school grounds at least once a month. Two percent report being physically attacked each year. Although the specific incidents of bloodsschool-based fatalities are too numerous to list, there were 48 school-associated deaths in elementary and secondary schools in one year alone.
During the late 1980's and early 1990's, teen gun violence increased dramatically in the United States. More teens began to acquire and carry guns, leading to a sharp increase in gun deaths and injuries. In two recent academic years, a total of 85 young people died violently in U.S. schools. Seventy-five percent of these incidents involved firearms.
