8B - Violence in school

Violence in school - A writing assignment

Read the following questions and use them as a starting point for your essay on violence in school. Make sure that your personal thoughts and opinions are visible in the text.

What are the reasons behind a school massacre? Are there simple answers, like; Public opinion and laws about weapon? Computer games? Drugs? General frustration among teenagers? Or is it more complicated?

Why haven’t we experienced these events in Sweden? Why have they in Finland?

How is the mental health of teenagers in general today? In Umea, in Sweden, globally?

Is it possible to prevent these school massacres from ever happening again?

What kind of violence DO we have here? Physical? Mental? Why is that, do you think?
