Being Safe

 

 

In this paragraph is some information about violence. Many people say that one school ,state or county is dangerours or bad because of the threats or shootings that have happened! It can happen anywhere. Nevada, Maine, Florida, or Oklahoma! It is a big world and no where is the safest! Many schools have set up anti-violence programs to help prevent violence.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics "By the age of 18,the average American child will have viewed about 200,000 acts of violence on television alone.....Media violence affects children by: Increasing aggresiveness and anti-social behavior. Increasing their fear of becoming victims. Making them less sensitive to violence and victims to violence. Increasing their appetite for more violence in entertainment and in real life."

We think that the world is not safe as some people think, but we as children need to take action. We are the victims. Let's start to help prevent violence!! We can make the difference!
