Violence in playgrounds is increasing. However, it is important that parents should teach children not to hit back at bullies.

In today's society,
violence
among
children
seems to be increasing and with it comes the issue of bullying and teasing in playgrounds.
This
essay will discuss whether or not
parents
should be teaching their
children
to use
violence
as a defence mechanism and what are the outcomes of the two scenarios.
Firstly
, many people believe that
violence
is only ever dealt with
violence
,
therefore
,
parents
tend to teach their kids defence mechanisms that are based on violent actions,
such
as hitting back when hit or talked badly to.
However
, there is evidence found in research that points out that
violence
creates more
violence
, meaning that the violent behaviour put into a child's mind, even if just to protect them, grows into more
violence
allowing them to use it more often. Take the series Cobra Kai,
for example
, where the character Kenny, who suffered bullying from his peers for months goes into karate training, learning a variety of violent moves, later he uses those moves to sand up to his bullies, hurting them,
however
, using
violence
becomes Kenny's strength allowing him to become the bully, now always hurting the people who used to hurt him. Another
way
to carry out problems
such
as bullying, which I might consider the better
way
, is through the non-violent approach. Looking at
this
issue in the long term, cases where
parents
support and teach their
children
anti-violent ways to deal with their emotions and frustrations,
parents
support and teach their
children
anti-violent ways to deal with their emotions and frustrations are more likely to be successful and stop the bullies and violent acts from others. As mentioned earlier,
violence
creates more
violence
,
therefore
, a non-violent encouraged upbringing will most likely raise
children
to discover other ways to solve conflict when encountered, as well as allow them to grow into adults who will act rationally when put into difficult situations. In conclusion, despite there being times when
violence
to defend oneself can be justified, non-harmful strategies outweigh any benefit they can bring, since it
also
has the negative side of constructing more
violence
. In my
opinion
Add a comma
,opinion
show examples
parents
who teach their kids a
way
to a life without violent acts are the ones whose
way
will have the most significant effect.
