Stop Violence in Schools!

This blog is an online account of our work for the school campaign we have developed. It is a campaign against violence in our school.

We invite you to be part of it and tell us your story or your thoughts on the topic. Together we can change things for better.
Always remember that peace and respect must first lie within you! Take this pledge and change the world around you by showing how amazing you are!

I pledge to make school a safe place
I pledge to respect my peers and
To always stand up against violence.

I pledge to treat others with kindness
And all I do be done in love and peace!

Violence in the world - wars

Unfortunately, people start wars for many reasons: to exert influence, to impose a religion, or to exploit people or resources. The history has recorded so many wars, but still it seems that of some today's nations haven't learned from the lessons of other wars. Here are some of the recent conflicts:

Malvine war - ( 2 April 1982- 14 June 1982) it was a conflict between Argentina and Great Britain. The main cause was the sovereignty of the islands (Falkland Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands). It made a lot of victims and injured people from both parts, even some citizens of the island, which were not involved in the war.

Gulf war - (2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991) a conflict between United States and Iraq. It was the United States response to Iraq's invasion and annexation of Kuwait. It finished with injured and dead people, and also with damage that costs lots of money.

Andreea

Hi there! I'm Andreea, one of the hosts of this blog and I'm 14 years old. I enjoy taking part in different projects, especially with my classmates who are the workaholic type. I'm looking forward to having success with the project against violence in schools and I hope it'll leave a brain mark. My job in this project was as a Writer (I wrote some articles regarding violence, like “Nico' s story'' and its consequences , “Violence around us-& gt; Schools'') and as a Translator (some of my written content was translated from EN-RO and vice versa). Also I helped the design team a little bit (I drew some of the posters' content and blog' s logo).
