I have really mixed feelings when it comes to violence in the school. Don't get me wrong, I am fully against violence against the school. But I feel that schools are doing a mediocre job to actually...you know...prevent violence in schools. Sure the school can prevent problems relating to people outside the school with lockdowns, but I don't see schools prevent school violence towards students.
I will name at least a few examples to prevent violence in the school. First of all, teachers need to be WAY more strict towards students who commit violence in the school. I can't imagine how many times a bully would just threaten a student and the only thing the teacher does to punish him is just say "Don't do it again" or blame the person who got bullied since he "Didn't ignore the bully" or "You allowed him to bully you so it's partially your fault". Not only would it actually punish students but it will also encourage students to not actually commit violence due to the severe consequences. Also this would prevent students from actually avoiding punishment due to dumb reasons like "It's just a prank bro". Secondly, teachers actually need to help students by finding ways to make specific students happy. Not only would that increase friendship with others but it will also increase the student's self esteem. This is very important since depression can be a factor for school violence. Lastly, for any students that might look depressed, teachers need to personally talk to the parents of that specific student so they can find easier ways to solve this problem.

In conclusion, If schools really want to prevent violence in the school, they need to focus on surveillance, talk to some students or even make teachers more strict towards misbehaving students. if schools actually do something like this, there would be no bullying guaranteed.
