School violence does not always
involve a shooting or a knife. It can be verbal, alcoholic, drug related or a
sexual assault. This page is designed to address those issues where the
violence is mainly focused against one
student, even when the antagonizer is a group of
students or a single student.
Schoolyard bullying usually leads to
confrontations that are appearing more and more on my list when the bullied
student strikes back against his/her attacker with a weapon. Hopefully,
the following link can help the bully, the
bullied, the school and the parents of each student to put an end to schoolyard bullying.

Teenagers often experiment with
alcohol at parties, and the results are almost always disastrous. However,
there are times when the students are doing everything right when a drunk
driver (whether it be an adult or another student) slams into them and ends
their young lives. Those can be the hardest deaths to accept, knowing that
your child was in the right and somebody else made a terrible decision to drink
and drive. Hopefully, the following few links can help the students,
parents and the school to ensure all are
educated on the dangers of drinking and driving.

Teenagers often experiment with
drugs as well, even mixing them with alcohol at the aforementioned parties. The results, once again, are almost always
disastrous. What's worse is that some of the teenagers are buying their drugs
from adults. Illegal drug makers are always improving the potency of their drugs, and the teens are all too eager to show
their coolness by smoking a joint or popping a pill. Hopefully, the
following few links can help the students, parents and the school to ensure all
are educated on the dangers of illegal
drugs. (Add to that prescription drugs that teens sometimes give to their
friends even though that friend may have a fatal allergic reaction to the drug.
And overdosing on over the counter drugs.)

Teenagers often become sexually
active before their parents are ready for them to accept the fact that their
children are maturing. That's not to say that teens always make the right
choice when it comes to sexual activity. But the sexual activity I'm
talking about here is the one that is forced
upon the teen through an assault, abuse,
and rape. Some sick bastard out there created a drug (Rohypnol) that can be slipped into a drink where it dissolves
completely and causes the drinker to lose
conscience completely. During this time, the drinker is usually sexually
assaulted or raped by the person who put the drug into the drink in the first
place. Date rape is also known to happen this way. Hopefully, the
following few links can help the students, parents and the school to ensure
that all are educated on the dangers of
forced sexual activity.
