Violence in Adolescents
Violence in Adolescents
Violence can severely impact teens’ development and place their future at risk. About 44% of teens experience some type of violence, and about 16 health conditions and risky behaviors are related to experiencing violence (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2021). There are several ways schools can adopt policies and practices that can promote safety in their teen students. Such methods include developing a solid bond between stand and students, educating adolescents on how to respond to emotional challenges that they might face, and providing them with resources (CDC, 2021).
