School violence is the term used to define violence or any form of arrogance that happens inside a school. Some of the known forms of school violence are student gangs, bullying or raging the junior students, physical attacks on fellow students, physical attacks on the school staffs etc. This is becoming a very serious issue in most of the schools around the world and especially in the United States of America where the school violence rates are extremely high with students possessing knives, guns and other weapons at will.

 

In the earlier days, schools were the safest places for students and small kids. Students were safer than they were at their homes because they were being monitored each and every second by the school staffs and other fellow students. But it is no longer the same because of the alarming increase of school violence inside the school premises.
