The only thing I learnt in high school is that people are very violent and territorial.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We recognize that violence is a learned behavior. One of the best classrooms for learning violence is in the home.
The most violent element in society is ignorance.
High school wasn't so bad though because, by then, I had worked out that there were far more nerdy kids and poor kids than there were rich, popular kids, so, at the very least, we had them outnumbered.
Everything in high school seems like the most important thing that's ever happened in your life. It's not. You'll get out of high school and you never see those people again. All the people who torment and press you won't make a difference in your life in the long haul.
There is a lot going on in high schools, and I think what we portray is fairly accurate.
It's hard to say whether the general incidence of school violence of all types is increasing or not.
Education is a vacine for violence.
There is a subconscious way of taking violence as a way of expression, as a normality, and it has a lot of effects in the youth in the way they absorb education and what they hope to get out of life.
I want to get violence - I want schools to start from K through 12 to just every day have teachers understand that they don't want to talk about anything that is violent, and they want to explain to the children how bad violence is and how behavior - violent behavior, is something that they really should not practice and think about.
What many teachers observe as violent behavior is often really just playful aggression.
