I have no doubt that there is a rise. However, the focus of it is the school that I attend. It is giving the school a bad name. Which they don't deserve. Both girls are in year 10.

This article is crap also.
"It was not uncommon for there to be lock-downs at least once a month, [playground] fights and stories coming home that a student had brought knives or guns to school," she said, claiming that teachers also openly admitted "giving up" on students and that 20-day suspensions "were the norm".
"They said they'd just keep suspending them until they left," Ms Mawbey said. "The school says it has an anti-bullying policy but it is just lip service: Violence is ongoing."
Rubbish. This was when I was in year 7. We had 1 lockdown because of an intruder. I think in the whole of year 7 there was maybe about 10 fights that whole year. Just there for the money. The thing I don't like about the papers are they only want the bad stories. Not the other side.
