Aggression and Violence

Nowadays, aggression and violence are the common issue that often happening in students all over grades. Even for the previous months ago, we ever heard about students’ fighting each other from different school. It was part of aggression and violence. Actually this topic is very interesting especially for teenagers and young adult, because through that knowledge we know that bullying or violence that some of them think those things are cool, in fact it is not cool anymore. So, we can avoid it, because we aware towards it.

Honestly, I never become a victim of bullying, maybe because I have good enough authority and I brave to speak. When I was in senior high school, I have one community what we called as a gank who has a high authority in the school and I am part of it. So, my community has a big impact to others, I mean many students were interested to join with us. Actually my community was consisting of 8 people who have close intimacy to each other and we are close friends, even we were from different class but we are closer rather than our classmate self. But we never bullying others, but maybe it was caused social jealousy in our surrounding at the time.  But another community was ever involved in aggression, maybe we called as “Melabrak”. Melabrak is not only verbal abuse but also physical abuse like “jambak-jambakan”. Then, all of students who involved in aggression got punishment from the school.

So, actually in senior high school grade is the peak of aggression and violence. Teenagers get many influenced from their peers and surrounding. For instance if we involve in fighting we will get a label as a rebel student and we get our social status in our community. But if we decline to involve in fighting, we will get mock from our friends and they think we do not have good solidarity for each other. So that is why knowledge about aggression and violence is really important for them.
