Question #6

What are some of the reasons young people give as to why violence (or abuse) occur in some teen relationships? Do you think that there may be a ligitimate reason... Why?

Question #5

Symbols Of Violence: Aryan Symbols, Swastikas, Gang IDs ('flags', beads, tattoos) are all violence symbols. Can you think of any more? Why do many teens consider joining groups that are based on exploiting other people?

Question #4

Thanks to the added instant video provided by YouTube and others, we now can see bullying events happening in high schools across the USA. I find the burning of the Florida high school student especially sad and often students are beaten until close to death. If you were the dean of your high school, what would you do to create an environment where everyone was safe and that bullying was minimized? (Try to explore non-punishment methods)

Question #3

Some excellent high schools are not safe and some high schools that have reputations for having difficult students are very safe. Why does this happen? What are some of the reasons why you feel your high school is safe?

Question Of The Week #2

What do you feel, what do you think, when you see an adult slap a young child across the top of the head when they might be misbehaving in public?

Question #1 for Students from Jim Murphy

What is the difference between conflict and violence? Are they equal?
