Violence at school. Types and root causes

Types of violence

school violence




The psychological portrait of a modern student is a vivid reflection of his social shortcomings. And one of the important problems during the period of education for the child is the possible violence at school. What is it and what are the root causes behind it? Let's try to figure it out. There are two types of violence in school - emotional and physical. From emotional abuse, the victim develops nervous tension, it humiliates him and his self-esteem. This type of violence includes mockery, ridicule, humiliation with other children, assigning nicknames, insulting nicknames, rude remarks, refusing to communicate with the victim (they don’t play with the child, they don’t sit next to the desk). Physical abuse at school is violence with violence. As a result of such violence, a child may cause injuries. This is a beating, slaps, the taking of personal belongings and their damage. Usually both of these species go hand in hand.

Anyone can become a victim of such an attitude. But most often they are children who are different from others. They may have physical disabilities; certain behavioral features (isolation, phlegmatism, or, conversely, impulsiveness); unusual appearance (e.g. red hair or overweight); to be socially unsuitable (there is no protection from violence due to lack of experience in self-expression and communication); fear of school (sometimes for fear enough stories about a bad and evil teacher or negative grades); lack of experience staying in a team (this is typical for home children who did not attend kindergartens); diseases (children with stuttering, enuresis and others), low intelligence and difficulty learning (low mental abilities affect his learning ability, which results in poor performance of the child, and, accordingly, low self-esteem is formed).

Numerous studies of psychologists around the world prove that these are children who were brought up in insufficient attention, detached from their parents, children "disliked" or from orphanages. As they get older, they are more prone to violence than children who grow up in normal families.

Important factors are relationships within the family. They are the basis for the formation of a child's propensity for violence. Single-parent families are often one of the factors affecting a child. Single parent parents are more likely to be violent than boys. Also, families where mothers are hostile and negative to the whole world, and to school in particular. The manifestation of violence in a child is not condemned, it is considered a normal reaction to communication with “enemies”. In addition, families where parents often quarrel and conflict in the presence of a child. In such cases, the child triggers a model of behavior. Children remember how parents relate to each other and project it onto relationships with peers. In addition, children with a genetic predisposition to aggression often use violence at school. These are the main reasons. Dependence on a bad yard company is also possible. So, we have examined what is violence in school. Who is the instigator, and who is the victim, and why does this happen. At present, innovations in education allow parents to closely monitor the life of a child in school. But do not forget about simple things: show love and attention to your child more. A problem such as violence at school is easier to prevent than to fix.
