Bullying can now lead to criminal cases and lawsuits. By the schools letting bullying continue it teaches students that it's ok. This creates a fearful environment instead of a learning one. Students feel "let me bully so I don't get bullied". Bullying victims can have a lot of stress added on and it can lead to retaliation such as school shootings as well as suicide.
When people think of school, a safe environment for students to learn comes to mind. Students learn knowledge happily and safety. However, when people think about gun, they always think about violence, danger and unsafe environment. Therefore, an environment for safe learning should not have guns. The school hires school security to protect the campus and they should be enough protection.
Critique on Do Video Games Kill? This article “Do Video Games Kill” by Karen Sternheimer addresses the wide spread idea; video games are the cause for “young killers” (210). Sternheimer believes concern for the influence video games may have on youth is spiraling out of control. She put most of the blame for this out of control concern on the media.

Safety is a problem in every environment and especially school. Drugs, alcohol, and firearms in lockers make a harmless place like school quite dangerous. School was known to be a secure environment for children where they could learn and have a have a fun time with friends. In the past 10 years that has all changed. The number of school shootings has increased significantly.
As adults we owe it to children to ensure their safety against sexual predators among us, online and off. There are many programs at schools and at community centers that makes children aware of some dangers to look for when approached by someone you don’t know.

With monitoring our child’s behavior and talking to our children to make sure they understand that there are bad people out there and how to make themselves aware of this. A few things I like that the schools teach, is the buddy system and to scream or make as much noise when someone
In the article “Schools Wrestle with Issue of Armed Guards” it stated that, “The firearm is there to protect students from bad guys on the outside, not to use on students," Mr. Hamill said. To underscore the dangers facing schools today, he cited a campus lockdown during a pawnshop robbery near a school two years ago, and another incident in which a criminal suspect fleeing arrest entered and dashed through an elementary school” (Education Week). I agree with these quotes. Because I think the there should be armed gurads in our schools around the world. The second reason I think armed guards are good to have in school is because they supply shakedowns.

Don’t You Think It’s Worth It? Sure the thought of someone searching your things may be a little disturbing, but your child’s safety is definitely worth it. Your children go to school to learn, to a place where you are not going to be to protect them, to the same place where other, more troubled kids go to. Sometimes these troubled kids are angry, want attention, or are just bored, so they bring in drugs or weapons. I am sure that you do not want your children exposed to this, and there is a way to stop it.
Most importantly the searches will help prevent a similar situation to the one on October 3rd and could potentially save lives. Implementation of these searches, though very controversial, would have great benefits for all of SFHS. They would limit the amount of drugs school property, increase students grades, and most importantly insure student safety.

Zero tolerance policies are very important for the safety of everyone in the school system. These policies include suspension for drug use, alcohol, and forms of misbehavior. However, some can disagree with the effectiveness of zero tolerance with events like the Columbine and Virginia Tech shooting.
