With all the focus that has surrounded teenage gangs and gun violence, it may be easy to forget that the teenage years are not the only times that children face violent behavior. In fact, aggressive behavior and bullying are even more common in elementary school than in junior and senior high! Some studies suggest that around 20 percent of all American children have been the victim of bullying at some point in elementary school, and about the same number have described themselves as engaging in some form of bullying behavior. Bullying can range from teasing, to stealing lunch money, to a group of students physically abusing a classmate.
Even though bullying is very similar to other forms of aggression, there can be some distinctive features:
The intention of bullying behavior is purposeful, rather than accidental
The goal is to actually gain control over another child through physical or verbal aggression.
Usually bullies make their attack without any real reason, other than they see their victim as an easy target.
Bullies are usually more popular with their peers than children who are simply aggressive.
Living in a society where wealth and power are admired, film heroes regularly beat up and kill others, and the weak and sick are often despised, it is no surprise that some children have learned to imitate these values. Research has shown that although bullies tend to have difficulty making friends, they do gain a certain level of popularity and peer status for their actions. It is possible that bullies may be enjoying more respect and admiration from their peers, and bullying behavior, especially among boys, can often be considered normal behavior.
Bullies tend to come from families that are characterized as having little warmth or affection. These families also report trouble sharing their feelings and usually rate themselves as feeling less close to each other. Parent of bullies also tend to use inconsistent discipline and little monitoring of where their children are throughout the day. Sometimes parents of bullies have very punitive and rigid discipline styles, with physical punishment being very common. Bullies also report less feelings of closeness to their siblings.

Parents and the school administrators need to go back to the days of paddling kids. Kids have no respect for adults because there is not a sense of authority. I'm glad I grew up in an era where I had a deep respect for my elders. The big wooden paddle called Big Bertha was why. I think kids are crying out for discipline that is why they act out.

A lot of violence is because kids from home have messed up homes. There is no way of stopping it to tell you the truth. But I guess you can talk to you councilor.

First of all, learn to spell. Second, there has ALWAYS been violence in schools. It just seems different today because of the news media.

When they took out God and Discipline out of the schools, they lost control or morals, respect, character and integrity. We can thank Madaline Murray O'Hare, may she burn in Hell Forever...

There is so much violence in schools because people no longer practice manners and self control.

First of all...You need to smack all the parents for screwing up their kids...
Second of all..you need to smack all the parents for ignoring their kids
Third of all...You need to smack all the kids for becoming their parents.
If kids hate their parents so much...why do they want to be like them...You think they would aspire to become something greather than what they see around them instead of becoming it
