WEEK 9 : Violence………SOCIAL STUDY

As You Read:

Activity 1. Read the text and complete the table below:

Teen violence refers to harmful behaviours that can start early and continue into young
adulthood. The young person can be a victim, an offender, or a witness to the violence. Violent acts
can include bullying, fighting (including punching, kicking, slapping, or hitting), and the use of
weapons such as guns or knives. Some violent acts can cause more emotional harm (feelings are hurt)
than physical harm. Others can lead to serious injury or even death. An important risk factor for
violence in teens is the behaviour of their friends and classmates. You should know who your kids
hang out with and encourage healthy behavior and relationships.
