i believe so..its an improtant topic that needs to be adressed

[Amnesiac]

Of course, it's a necessary safety issue

[Jess]

Yes it's necessary

[huginnmuninn]

yea, are there any reasons not to?

[INFERNO]

I think it'd be a great idea and the teachings could be passed to the parents. Only reasons I see against it would be content could be too graphic it could harm or make the child very wary and distrustful of their families. However, I think the benefits outweigh the cons.

[Ramiro]

Yes - education = prevention.

But they should not be insensitive about it

[maestro15]

It should be tought. School teaches children how to have a better bright future. And one of the things to talk about is ending ALL sorts of violence. I don't see why this is controversial I think it should be tough IN ALL SCHOOLS

[Chill_dude]

yes because it seems now a days the only way to resolve something is by fighting lame x)
