HOW GANG MEMBERS AFFECT OUR EDUCATION.

Thinking about education, i want to share some comments about how bullying affects this important process. As we know, nowadays, gang members are increasing in our society. Some days ago I talked to a friend of mine about this situation; she is a teacher and works in a public school, I asked her if there was not any problem with gang members that could be intimidating students in that school, the teacher told me that she is worried because there are many problems and not only for students but also for the teachers that work over there. Many students do not attempt to classes because they are threatened outside the school so that is why they prefer being at home and not attempt to classes. Another case is that some of them are getting bad grades and they do not feel motivating, etc.

I also asked her if they, as teachers, have not talked about this situation. She said that they have tried to talk about it with the parents of the students but the problem is that some parents are gang members and have their children studying over there; in that case they cannot do anything since they also feel afraid of this kind of people, so they prefer to be friendly with them.  The problem is where the school is located, it is in the suburbs, there is not enough security neither education, some students have their parents in jail so, that affects their development as students. Weird stuffs are happening inside the school she said; some teachers also have been threatened if they assign bad grades to the students, a student has a relationship with a gang member, etc.

It is difficult to talk about this topic we cannot stop this situation and look for solutions to solve this problem, students and parents are involved with gang members, the education cannot improve in that school. This is becoming very popular in our society, it also happens in other public schools. The last year many students suffered many problems like murders, kidnapping, abuse, etc.  Authority is not able to protect some areas of our country.

The number of homicide are increasing everyday, the government should do something and pay attention to this problem, because education is very important to have better society.
