The problem is ours so we just all have to deal with the problem and it needs to be sorted out .The only way this thing can be solved it will need the involvement of the administrators, the community, the parents, the teachers and students need to gather and make schools safe because by punishing the students it won’t solve anything.

There’s been a lot of violence amongst students in schools. I believe that it is the superiority some students want to have over other students. Bulling is nothing compared to what happens in schools. It’s about some sort of gangsterism in schools. I think the reason can be the students are being violent towards each other because of things like, guys fighting over girls, academics and money.



What are schools doing right now? According to the NCES survey, 84% of public schools have a 'low security system in place. This means that they have no guards or metal finders, but they do control access to school buildings. 11% have 'moderate security which means either employing a full-time guard with no metal detectors or controlled access to the buildings or a part-time guard with controlled access to the buildings. read more

The blame can be on the parents that are not taking the initiative to solve the matter by disciplining their children, as discipline begins at home. One way of resolving this matter is by training the teachers and the staff members to be watchful and reply student’s needs before they result in unhealthy behaviour. The school can also provide school counselling so it can impact the students.  In a communication angle the school needs to invite the South African Police Service to teach the students not to carry weapon when coming to school premises and the community as a whole impacts on the upbringing of its youth so everyone should take responsibility.
