Peer Violence
"Students at school should treat every other student the
way they want to be treated."
By Dereck Allen
Why do students kill their peers at school and then
commit suicide? I think it's because their peers exclude them from
activities, and make fun of them, and say mean things about them.
I think it is wrong because every student should be treated equally.
I feel strongly about this because a student at my school committed
suicide. It might have been because his peers said mean things to
him to make him think, "If I am not treated right, and am hated
by my peers, then life isn't worth living."
I think that students at school should treat every other student
the way they want to be treated so that there will be a small amount
of children dying every year.
