violence is not an appropriate response to any problem what needs to be done,is to discuss problems together and find solutions.People who use violence to solve their problems must follow procederes or rules which are made by the community or school,If they dont they will be legal actions taken against them.

Firstly violence is not a problem solver,when you violate a person you destroy their spirit,putthem down.If you are violent you always solve problems by violating the person never think about siting down with the person and talk out your feelings towards the person's behavour.What needs to be done is that people need to realise that they have a dificulty when coming to 'problem solving'and look for help to deal with their behavour.

violence is not the respond to any thing.The thing that you need to do when something has forced you to do violence,you should always stay calm and also try to get the way that you can solve the problem and whatever happens to you,always try not to make it over come you.The thing that need to be done in my school children need to know them selves and also try to have perseverance and they should not let small thing overcome them or disturb them in their education.In my community we as the resident we should have the behaviour because the thing that mostly make people to do violence is alcohol.

At school we can prevent violence by starting workshops,so that learners can avoid being violent.We can also tell the eradicates[securities] to gaurd our school.

In our community we can group our selves,it maybe into 5 groups to gaurd the community.If we see you fighting or making physical force intending to hurt other people, we will then call cops to arrest you.

Firstly, violence has never solved anything,it only adds to the problem.If we could come together as students and members of the community to eradicate violence,that will be a start.They say charity begans at home,if we could stop living in the oldern stage and teach our children to treasure and value all those females in the world,reason being women and children are the ones who are being violeted at this stage.Lets all respect one another.Oh! and big ups for all males who are already doing so and helping in the struggle of fighting violence agaist women and children.

Punishing or beating children at school is good because they dont listen and dont respect their teachers ,and they dont do what their teachers asked them to do.for them to listen is to be beaten,then after that they can do their work and listen to their teachers.

Violence can be stopped dure to working together when there is a problem maybe at home or anywhere.Why because violence is not a problem if there is communication between the people who are causing violence to be like something that can solve problem while it can't.I can say that a person's behavour can also help on solving this kind of problem toward people.Respect can be one of the good things to stop violence.When you violate someone you are not teaching them nothing good,but you are making them to be violant.If you violate them,you are making them suffer you are making them to be down spirited and thats gonna make them feel like everyone is a stranger to them.that can turn a person in to be heartless.So what I'm saying is that let communication be the best solution on solving problems so that we can avoid the regrates atfer effects thank you.School children can also lead you to doing something regratable so what you need to do is to kick them out of the class toavoid many things.Punish by telling them to come with their mother.Should you say you will solve them you will do something unexpectedly and it should have being to late for you to do something so don't be what you are not unexpectedly I mean a killer. When you are a working with people learn to leave your family matters at home to be save.

Violence is not the answer to a problem but people regard it as the right thing to do even though its illegal and aganst the law.After doing this they feel better about themselves that they have gotout or gotin whatever that they needed and not care about the other person that is around and how is going to affect them.There are ways in which people can stop or prevent this from happening at school or the community by having shows,plays or meetings where people could come and get educated so that they have the knowledge and the awareness of a way in which they can come up with a better solution to help when violence wants to take its part.

Firstly violence cannot be stopped unless if we stick together as a nation.

coming to stop violence in violence in the community we can consult the government to send the team of people to patrol in the community at night,and we also need to teach the community about how bad violence can change your life.

We can also consult the Media about how to stop violence,by stoping them to continue playing violence stories on television.

I don't believe that violence under any situation is the proper response. I think peace will always be the proper response.
I think people needs to just make a conscience choice to what is right and not what is wrong.

What do you think needs to happen to step the violence in your school or community. Violence should not be appropiate in anyway. To step violence people need to communicate without arguing and learn how to solve problems in better ways to and to be patient.

I guess violence would be appropiate if someone is hurting you, or if you know someone is bound to hurt you. Plus if someones is really getting on your nerves and the only way they'll understand is through violence.
