I need help creating a thesis and an outline on School Violence. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. In today’s modern world, the competition in all the areas of life has become strong and demands a lot of physical, mental and emotional strength for survival. People who are born in a family with good financial conditions and a healthy social position enjoy the added advantage in the race of life. However, people who do not get that added advantage feel left out and suffer from frustration, anger, and depression. The major way in which they express their anger and try to attract the attention of people is through violent acts. Unfortunately, even young people studying in school and aged 18 and below have started using violence as a means to express their frustration, anger and hopelessness regarding life situations (“Preventing School Shootings”, p.11). However, the question is, is it really the social disadvantages that lead youth to commit murders in school or is ‘social disadvantage’ just a façade used by students with violent mental tendencies to justify their violent acts? My research is an attempt to find an answer to the question of what really makes a student take such an extreme step of killing his fellow students, teachers and other staff members of the school. According to a report presented by Infoplease (2006) called ‘A Time Line of Recent Worldwide School Shootings’, between January 1, 1996, to December 1, 2006, more than 20 mass shootings have occurred in six different countries and most of them, have occurred in the US (Kyle & Thompson, 2008, P.98). This means that on an average, 2 mass killings occur every year. This shows that violence in school has not remained limited to the act of bullying or fighting but has also become life-threatening. Hence, if the violence in school is to be stopped, it is extremely important to reach the roots of the violence. My research is an attempt to find the root cause of violence in schools.
