Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, In our country t
11、oday, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence.

18、ly want? What am I afraid of ? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller.
