Hello everybody!
This time I decided to write about violence at school on the grounds that nowadays is a huge problem.

As you may know, this situation took place in the province of Cordoba, and when I saw it I started to think about violence at school. Now when you see or hear about instances of violence at school one of the questions that arises is why adolescents are so violent today. I mean, when I went to school this didn’t happen frequently, whereas now is quite common to hear that students take knives or guns to school or that they fight there. Then, another question is if we can find a solution to this issue. One day, my sister who is a teacher told me about an event of violence that took place in the school where she works. Two teenage girls were fighting in the yard during break time and one of the teachers told them to stop. The thing was that they didn’t obey her and continued fighting. The teacher didn’t know what to do, she said that she got really scared, so she went and called the principal. When the principal went, the girls had already stopped, but they were suspended for their behavior.
All in all, I think that something must be done! We, as future teachers can talk to students and their parents or tutors about the consequences of violence and make them see the seriousness of this problem.
Now, what do you think about violence at school? What should be done when this happens? Is there a way to prevent it?
