Helpful insults are not healthy for people on the giving end or, especially, on the receiving end. True, they are often impossible to avoid, but it is what we do afterwards that makes all the difference. Most acts of school violence occurred when the attacker or attackers were insulted either intentionally or unintentionally. I feel that if those students had been talked to, some of those acts would not have occurred. Communication is the key to school violence.
Communication can stop violence, but communication can also cause violence.
So please, watch what you say. It can make all the difference.
