What is school

violence? What

are the causes of

school violence?What are the

effects oftheschool

violence? Thesequestions are what


2/84

came to a

persons mind

when dealing with

suchproblem.Many studies

although differfrom one another

indicates that oneof the factors


3/84

thatprevents the

safety and

acquisition of full

potential of astudent is school

violence.One ofthe causes of

school violence inthe Philippines is


4/84

the Filipinos

value of

pakikisamawhic

h occur in schoolenvironment when

a student in theact being united

with their peersispressured to do


5/84

the same violent

behavior as their

peers that causes

violence againstthere

other classmates.It starts with

pakikisalamuhaor act of mixing


6/84

in which they

acquire the

sameviolent trait

their peerspossesses, then

pakikilahok oract of joining in

which theymanifest thesame


7/84

violent actions

that their friends

do such as

bullying othersthen

pakikibagay oract of conformity

with their peers inwhich they acquire


8/84

the negative

behavior of their

friends.Bullying is

one of the majorcauses for

violence inschool. With the

help of power,students gooff


9/84

their limits to seek

fun. This 5

minutes fun can be

dangerous if donein wrong sense.

Bullyinga person at a

young age leavesdisturbing


10/84

behaviour at the

end. The child is

no where ready

toface the world attimes. Adequate

attention should begiven by school

authorities in suchmatters.Home


11/84

support should be

there with bullied

person. This is to

ensure that he orshe is not alone

if something badhas

happened.Punishing the bullying


12/84

person will not

help. At times if

the bullying

person lacks inmaturitythere are

chances where hecan go to any

extent. Thishappens when


13/84

there is lacking of

maturityin the

bullying

individual. If thereis no sense and

presence of mindin the bullying

person thenhe cango in the other


14/84

direction which is

unthinkable. He

can react in angry

manner whichwillresult use of

power forviolence. It will

disturb others indifferent manner


15/84

which can be very

hardto forget

mentally. He can

vent out his angerin physical

manner.Discussion

The effects ofschool violence


16/84

have been

extensive. Many

students stayed at

home out of fearinthe late 1990s

than ever before.Schools were no

longer viewed assafe havens for


17/84

the

nation'schildren.

The increased

presence ofpolice, metal

detectors, andintervention

programshasbecome daily


18/84

reminders of

school

violence.The

thousands ofstudents directly

exposed to schoolviolence, both the

highlypublicizedmultipl


19/84

e homicides and

the less publicized

episodes of threats

and standoffs thatdid not lead

toactual injury ordeath, can suffer

fromposttraumatic


20/84

stress disorder.

This condition can

causedepression,

anger, andanxiety. Overall,

the ability foryouth to learn

and for schoolstoeffectively teach


21/84

is greatly affected

by school

violence.One of

the greatchallenges when

it comes toschool violence is

defining what isschoolviolence?


22/84

In peoples mind

even a single

event of school

violence is far toomany. The

mostlikely picturethat comes to

mind whentalking about


23/84

school violence is

the school

shootingincident

but what is criticalto note is that not

just incidentsinvolving the

firing of gunsareconsidered


24/84

school violence

many other issues

such as verbal

abuse, physicalabuse by

their classmatesand teachers are

being ignored.


25/84

According to the

National Criminal

Justice Reference

Service of theUnited States,

schoolviolence isany behavior that

violates a schoolseducational


26/84

mission and

vision, climate

of respect or

jeopardizes theintent of the

school to be freeof aggression

against personsor property,


27/84

drugs, weapons,

disruption and

disorder. The

definitionindicates that

there aremanyforms of

violence insidethe school and


28/84

that defining

school violence

only in terms of

shootingmeansthat the problem is

meant tolinger.One in two

school children inthe Philippines


29/84

are bullied or

suffer from other

forms of

abuseinflicted bypeers or teachers,

according to astudy released by

a child rightsmonitor,


30/84

PlanInternational.

The abuse, on top

of widespread

poverty, mighthelp explain the

relativelyhighdropout rates

in primary andsecondary


31/84

schools in the

country, said

Britain-based

PlanInternational.The group released

the results of astudy conducted

last year on 2,442children in58


32/84

public schools by

the Philippine

Womens

University Schoolof Social Work. It

showed thatat"least five out of

10 children inGrades 1-3, seven


33/84

out of 10 in

Grades 4-6 and six

out of 10 inhigh

school haveexperienced some

kind of violence inschool.The

Children AgainstViolence


34/84

campaign was

created to give

you a voice in

experiencesof abuse and

violence inschools. Forms of

violence that youmay experience


35/84

from peers

or classmates

include bullying or

being tough(pagiging astig/

siga), hurtingothers

(pananakit),andbeing ganged up


36/84

on

(pinagkaisahan).

Sometimes the

abusive acts maybe done by a

teacher, likebeing beated up

ormauled(pagbugb


37/84

og), being

humiliated in

public (ipinahiya

sa publiko), orbeing shouted at

andcursed(sinisigawan at

minumura).When you feel


38/84

shame or

humiliation, the

act is consideredas

abusive. If youhave experienced

violencewhetherphysical or inner

painyou have arightto seek safety


39/84

and change the

situation.The

survey of high

school students byUNICEF and Plan

International(2010), found that

theythink:violence is part of


40/84

school life, when

it happens it is

their fault,

violence makesthem

unhappy, violencemakes them

dislike going toschool, they


41/84

prefer being

talked to as a

form

of reprimand.Violence against

children includescorporal

punishment,bullying, sexual


42/84

harassment,

emotionalabuse,

peer-to-peer

violence, andharassment on

their way to andfrom schools.

Verbalabuse,including


43/84

ridicule, teasing,

being shouted at or

cursed "is the most

prevalent form ofviolence atall

levels with malechildren more

likely toexperience


44/84

physical violence,

the study said.The

victims' peers,

more than adults,are the

perpetrators, itsaid. Most

incidents gounreporteddue to


45/84

fear of retribution,

it added. The

reports also

indicates that thesechildren generally

prefer a morepositive form of

discipline likebeing talked to or


46/84

corrected guided

and

counseled.Another

study reveals thatabout four in 10

Filipinoschoolchildren in

Grades 1 to 3, andsevenout of 10


47/84

kids both in

Grades 4 to 6 and

high school

expressed that theyhave experienced

somekind ofviolence in

school, in a 106-page study titled

Friendly

Violence againstChildren in

Public Schoolsoffers abaseline


49/84

study on violence

against children

in the public

school settingsand gives

insightandevidence-based

information to aidlegislators, media


50/84

practitioners, and

the public on

thesensitive topic

of violence againstchildren (VAC).

The study wasconducted among

6,931 child-respondents in 173


51/84

public schools

nationwide. The

study was also part

of thecommemoration

of the 20thanniversary of the

United NationsConvention on the


52/84

Rights of the

Child.

UNICEFdefined

violence againstchildren as any

act that violateschildrens rights,

particularlytheir right to


53/84

physical and

mental health,

security and bodily

integrity.It wasshown in the

study that allforms of violence

are happening inschools, while


54/84

acts of violence

experienced by

children increase

in frequency aschild moves up to

higher gradelevels.It said

verbal abuse is themost prevalent


55/84

form of violence

experienced by

children at all

schoollevels,which includes

being shouted atand being cursed,

ridiculed, teased,or humiliated. It


56/84

alsosaid male

children are more

likely to

experiencephysical violence

than femalechildren.

One of the goals ofa child-friendly


57/84

school is to ensure

that children are

safe and healthy.

As thisreportshows, many

children do notfeel that way.

More than half ofthe children in the


58/84

surveyhad

experienced some

form of violence

in school,according to

formerUNICEFcountry

representativeVanessa Tobin.


59/84

Based on study,

aside from

physical violence

that result ininjury,there are other

violent acts suchas spanking,

beating, pinchingor slapping, that


60/84

have beentolerated

or socialized as

acceptable ways to

disciplinechildrenFormer

Social Welfareand Development

Secretary DinkySoliman


61/84

reiterated the

need for schools

to serve as

sanctuary thatshould provide

for the integraldevelopment in a

childssocialization process. It is in


62/84

schools where

memories are

made and dreams

are built, shesaidhowever

different forms ofviolence have

become one of thefactors for


63/84

dropping out. We

mustwork for a

violent-free

society for ourchildren,

Soliman said.They have no

way to reportor ask for help.


64/84

One of the most

important aspects

of school is to

encourage childrento imagine andto

dream that willshape their

future; but it willnot happen in an


65/84

environment of

fear andviolence,

she

added.Althoughour culture expects

the family to dealwith childhood

problems,contemporary


66/84

societymakes it

difficult for

parents to meet

all their children'sneeds. The

current economy,for example,

often demandsthat both parents


67/84

work; more

children are

raised by single

parentsincludingteenage mothers;

and somechildren are

subjected by theirparents to neglect


68/84

or physical,

sexual, and

substance

abuse.Ideally,parents nurture

and reinforcepositive behavior.

When parents failto do so, children


69/84

maydevelop

negative--and

often violent--

behavior patterns.In addition,

neglectful orabusive

familyenvironments can inhibit the


70/84

development of

communication

skills; self-esteem

can beseriouslydamaged.

In homes wherepositive behavior

is not the norm,exposure to


71/84

violence

throughpopular

culture may have a

more profoundimpact.What all

of this means isthat efforts that

prevent schoolviolence must


72/84

focus on a

broader definition

and

understanding ofwhat constitutes

school violence.Trying to prevent

school


73/84

violence in terms

of physical

measures such as

keeping guns andother weapons out

of school isnotenough. Although

such measureshave their place,


74/84

to prevent school

violence from

ever occurring, a

whole range ofmeasures must be

employed toaddress a whole

range ofbehaviorsthat may


75/84

violate schools

educational

mission and

climate of respect.With such

approachtheproblem of

school violence is


76/84

likely less to

linger.Summary

School violence donot only pertain to

a person beinginjured or killed

inside a schoolpremisesbut it also


77/84

includes behavior

that violates the

schools mission,

verbal assaultsuch

humiliation,beingshouted at or being

cursed and beingmauled or beaten


78/84

up by a

teacher.Understan

ding the causes of

school violence isthe best start in

working to preventit. While notevery

incident of schoolviolence can


79/84

necessarily be

pinpointed down

to one cause,

there aremanypreventable factors

at play that lead upto these incidents.

In any traumaticincident there


80/84

isalways finger

pointing that goes

on, but before

pointing fingersand laying blame

its importanttounderstand all of

the potentialcauses


81/84

involved.School

violence if not

apprehended

correctly mayresult from

childrendeveloping

major depressions,anxiety, not


82/84

attending classes

thus affect their

ability to learn and

hone theirskills,develop the

students fullpotential and the

security and safety


83/84

of the students is

at stake.Conclusion

I thereforeconclude that, one

of the causes ofschool violence in

the Philippinesfind its roots onthe


84/84

Filipino value of

pakikisama

therefore,

students must beeducated at an

early age that
