Bullying
Bullying, the most common things can happen in school, although it seems cannot threaten someone’s safety directly, this issue still can affect students seriously. When someone is being bullied, this person is experiencing being insulted, this kind of memory is very difficult to be forgotten, even worse, it could come with this person in the whole life. On September 26th, there was a bully happened in England, a 13-year-old girl was beaten by another girl who pretended as her friend (REID, 2016), and the video was shared on Snapchat for spreading rumor around her school. This thing no doubt that has gave her a big mental wound. When a people whose mind is not so tough is bullied, it might cause this people to lose self-confidence, afraid of communicating with others, or even have depression and lead to suicide.

Gun Shooting
The most horrible issue that can happen in school is gun shooting. School is a place that for learning skills. But there are some people that carry guns into the school area, and use it toward those innocent students and staffs in school. A 6-year-old boy Jacob Hall has died several days after he was shot in a school shooting in South Carolina (Mayo & Ellis, 2016), and the murder is just a 14-year-old boy, who can imagine that a 14-year-old boy would has this horrible movement. So the school shooting is a big problem that we all need to take care of.
Sexual Abuse
And another serious issue in school is sexual abuse, some students or staffs think they can do whatever they want in school, and they don’t even think about the effects they would cause to others. So sometimes we could see the news report that somebody was charged with sexual abuse in school. Recently, a former coach at East High School is facing sex abuse and child endangerment charges (Cleare, 2016). He used to work as paraprofessional and athletic coach at East High School, and now he has to pay for what he had done. “It’s really hard to screen for these kinds of situations. We can only hope that folks will step forward and don't condone it. That the students will step forward and feel comfortable that they’ll be supported and that the community as whole speaks out and creates an environment that this behavior is not accepted.” Said Shaun Nelms, an East Superintendent.
The Possible Solutions
So what can we do to prevent those things from happening in our schools? First of all, we all need to develop our awareness of emergency, knowing how to deal with when facing these issues. The second, school should employ security guards at campus areas, so that students can be protected at the first time if there is a gun shooting in school. And the third, enhancing the punishment of school assaulting problems, such as bullying, sex abuse.
Conclusion
Overall, the society is not so stable. Recently, we need to take care of ourselves, learning how to protect ourselves from bad guys, and let the society pay more attention on it, so that the government would do something that can help our studying environment to be better.
