Problems & Struggles

Problems and struggles that high school students face on a daily bases ranges from minor issues such as difficulties understanding their homework to larger much more dangerous encounters such as physical abuse.  Take for example, high schools tend to present an assembly dedicated to bullying due to its growth among high school students, approximately every semester. Perhaps the bullying is not shown through bruises and scars yet, bullying presents it’s self through various forms. Personally I believe that verbal abuse is the greatest demonstrated among Hispanic cultures due to the belief that words cannot harm the individual. Especially when it is presented among family members such as a father and son or within siblings.   Words don’t seem to cause any damage yet, at times what is not seen is what causes the greatest harm.  Personally, I believe that physical abuse is focused on to intently that verbal and emotional abuse is not taken in consideration that there needs to be a change within those two sub-branches of bullying.
