How can we prevent violence at schools?
 All students have the right to learn in a safe school environment. The good news is school violence 
can be prevented. Many factors contribute to school violence. Preventing school violence requires 
addressing the factors that put people at risk or protect them from violence. Research shows that 
prevention efforts by teachers, administrators, parents, community members, and even students can 
reduce violence and improve the school environment.

III. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, or C to indicate the correct answer to each 
of the questions.
 Peer-pressure is the influence that friends, people and individuals in group are capable of exerting 
on their peers. Some children are able to brush it off without any issues while it negatively impacts on 
other children. Sometimes adults underestimate the effects of peer pressure on their children because 
they were teenagers long ago in a different time. Here are three ways in which peer-pressure can 
negatively affect children.
 First, due to peer pressure, children can easily adopt dangerous habits. They see what their friends 
do and copy them. For example, many may develop bad habits such as alcohol consumption, smoking, 
drug abuse. Technically, children know that these are not good habits to cultivate but they are motivated 
by the need to feel accepted.
 Second, children's academic performance is also affected by their peers. For teenagers, it is 
important for them to be accepted by their peer group. This means that their peer group's approval gets 
placed above that of their parents and teachers. This in turn has a direct effect on their academics. 
Sometimes their academics are affected because despite being capable of performing well, they choose 
not to because in the eyes of their peers it makes them look 'uncool'. Sometimes their academics are 
affected because in an effort to fit in with their peer group, they place more emphasis on being social 
rather than working on their academics.
 Finally, negative peers also make children feel ashamed or bad about themselves and their family. 
At the average school, students come from various economic backgrounds. If the students come from 
poor economic backgrounds or come from a family which might not give them money to spend 
extravagantly, they end up feeling bad or ashamed of themselves and their family, because in the eyes 
of their peers, they are somehow 'lesser' or 'weird' individuals.
