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 around us: Media/TV

It seems today that all we see is violence in movies and sex on TV, but where are those good old fashion values on which we used to rely?". This is the beginning of a song (The beginning of the TV serials Family Guy) which should give us something to think about . The truth is that media and TV programs nowadays contain less restrictions when regarding children. A kid can easily access inappropriate sites or TV programs which display violence. Parents rarely select the information that children are exposed to . Unfortunately, kids like to imitate or follow trends , and TV and media make up the wrong pool for examples to follow.

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).
