It is wrong to fight…

What is fighting? Fighting is basically when two or more people punch each other or physically attempt to hurt each other. Personally I think that fighting isn't okay because someone can get hurt or majorly injured.Fighting can be okay if you are defending your-self what I would class that as self-defence because you aren't purposely trying to hurt someone you're just attempting to keep your-self safe.




How many people report fighting or being in a fight?

In 2017, about 18 percent of students reported having been in a physical fight anywhere 1 to 3 times, 4 percent reported having been in a physical fight anywhere 4 to 11 times, and 2 percent reported having been in a physical fight anywhere 12 or more times.This may of changed because this study was done in 2017 but I think it is still a lot but has improved because there was quite a few if we were to travel back into 1990.



Why are more males in a physical fight versus females?

Due to many studies there is a nearly double percentage difference in male to female fighting.

In 2017, 30 percent of males reported physical fighting, compared with 17 percent of females being in a physical fight.This may be because males find it harder to control their anger or possibly feel tougher if they fight others.But what if a female had a male body build would it change who fights more? I think this could be true because male think that they are tough and strong which makes them want to prove themselves worthy of it.




Fighting in schools...

Though most schools report at least one violent crime per school year, serious violent crimes at schools occur in far fewer schools. In 2014 about 13 percent of public schools reported one or more serious fighting incidents to the police. Overall, school crime has decreased since the early 1990s.I think that the violence could have decreased because of less gangs aren't so popular these days.There are many ways to try and prevent a fight like using verbal commands or possibly schools could work on anger management and help the student make connections with other students at a younger age.This might be able to help them in a future fight.




Fighting should be okay and kids should be taught at a young age.Fighting shouldnt be encouraged because the people think it is trendy or cool,which will make fighting increase.
