Description

The School Violence: Be the Solution, Not the Problem Pamphlet, gives students clear, practical tools for building a safe and respectful school community. With easy-to-read text it highlights the importance of recognizing warning signs, reporting concerns, and making positive choices that prevent violence before it starts.

Inside, students learn that violence doesn’t happen “out of nowhere.” There are often red flags, like threats, bullying, or sudden behavior changes, that can signal a bigger problem. By taking these signs seriously and reporting them to a trusted adult, students take the first step toward protecting themselves and others.

The pamphlet also emphasizes the importance of leaving weapons at home, respecting classmates, and treating differences with kindness. Students are reminded that every action—whether it’s speaking up, offering respect, or refusing to escalate conflict—has the power to create a safer, more supportive environment for everyone.

Designed for middle and high school audiences, this resource is a great addition to classrooms, counseling offices, parent nights, or school safety events. It encourages students to see themselves not as bystanders, but as active participants in keeping schools safe.
