How can we stop violence within schools?

Bullying, violence, threats, accusations. All these words play a role within a school each and everyday whether a teacher sees it or not. It is hard as a person from the outside to help those on the inside who are dealing with these issues everyday. Schools are now becoming more anti-bullying and setting up campaigns about it. Schools need to become more active though. They think that creating a golden policy and making signs to say stop bullying will help. Even though these schools think it is positive way it is not finished. Schools need to get into the heart of the problem and have a zero tolerance for this type of action. There should be no bullying what so ever and if there is someone who has been caught they will be reprimanded. Bullying leads to violence whether it is the victim being hurt or the bully themselves. Bullying can lead to death in our world today as well. Schools should reach out to each and every student giving them an overview of what it is like to be the bully and the victim. Students need to learn that bullying is not okay and even if they are not the victim, speak up for that person. Schools are supposed to be a safe place for students and when there is bullying taking place inside those walls, it is not safe. There are multiple ways that bullying can be stopped and it is a major campaign sweeping the country.
