Overview of the causes of student brawl

Caused of brawls
Often alleged, students who brawl came from vocational schools, come from families with

fights, 77 of whom arehigh school. So is the economic level, which indicates there are some
students who oftencapable of fighting comes from a family economically. More charges are
also often addressed to the school were deemedless provide religious education and good
morals. So did the family said to be less harmoniousand often not at home.
Though the causes of student brawl are not that simple. Especially in large cities, the
problem in such acomplex, including factors sociological, cultural, psychological, and
educational policy in the broad sense (solid curriculumfor example), as well as other public
policies such as public transportation and city planning.
Psychologically, a brawl involving a teenage student is classified as a form of
delinquencyadolescent (juvenile deliquency). Juvenile delinquency, in terms of fights, can
be classified into 2 types of delinquencythe situational and systematic. In situational
delinquency, fights occur because of the situation"Require" them to brawl. The requirement
that usually arises due to the need to solveproblems quickly. While the delinquency of

member, if they are proud to do what is expected by the group

In the view of psychology, each behavior is an interaction between the tendencies within the
individual (oftencalled personality, though not always accurate) and external conditions.
Similarly, in terms of student fights. When
described, there are at least 4 psychological factors why a teen student getting into fights.
Internal factors. Teenagers are getting into fights are usually less able to adapt to the
environmental situationcomplex. Complex here means the diversity of views, cultures, economic
levels, and all
stimuli from the environment are increasingly diverse and many. This situation usually raises the
pressure onevery person. But the teenagers getting into fights, they are less able to cope, let
aloneexploit the situation for his development. They are usually easy to despair, rapid escape
fromproblem, blame someone / other party in every case, and chose to use the simplest way
tosolve the problem. In adolescents who often fought, it was found that they experience inner
conflict, it is easyfrustration, have labile emotions, are not sensitive to the feelings of others,
and have a low sense of selfstrong. They are usually in desperate need of recognition.
Family factors. Households that filled with violence (either between the parents or the child) had
an obvious effectin children. Son, when increased adolescent, learning that violence is a part of
himself, so that is somethingnatural that he too violent. Conversely, parents who are too protect
her child, while teenagers willgrow as individuals who are not independent and does not dare to
develop a unique identity. So join
with his friends, he will hand over destiny is totally against the group as part of identity
he built.

School factors. First school is not viewed as an institution should educate students
to be
something. But schools must first be judged by the quality of teaching. Therefore,
the school environmentnot stimulate students to learn (such as a monotonous
atmosphere of the class, the rules that are not relevant toteaching, lack of lab
facilities, etc..) will cause more students to enjoy doing outdoor activities school
with her friends. Only after the issue of education, where teachers most certainly
played a role important. Unfortunately teachers act more as a punishment and
implementing rules, as well as authoritarian figures whoactually also use violence
(though in different form) in "educating" their students.
Environmental factors. Environment between home and school everyday natural
teens, also had an impactagainst the emergence of a fight. For example, a narrow
home environment and slums, and members of environmentalbehaving badly (eg
drugs). Similarly, public transportation is often menomor-sekiankan student.
Also urban environment (can the state) that violent. Overall it can stimulate the
youth to learn something from the environment, and then the emotional reaction
to the growing support for the emergence of behaviorfight.
