Increasingly serious cases of violence
On November 7, speaking with a reporter from Lao Dong Newspaper, a representative of the Department of Education and Training of Thanh Hoa province said that from the beginning of 2025 to November 6, the whole province had 9 cases of school violence. Of which, from the beginning of the 2025 - 2026 school year until now, there have been 2 cases that have caused particularly serious consequences, causing 2 students to die and many students at risk of being taken advantage of.
The incidents show that school violence is becoming more and more complicated and reckless, no longer stopping at common fights. Many cases of dangerous weapons such as knives, helmets, iron pipes appeared...
The main cause comes from small conflicts such as collisions during class, teasing, and conflicts on social networks. Meanwhile, many people who witnessed the incident could not stop but cheered, filmed clips, and shared them online, making the situation more serious.
The current state of school violence has consequences for life and health, creating a confused mentality in society, affecting discipline, order and the image of schools; at the same time violating regulations on social order and safety, creating an unsafe feeling for students and their families a representative of the Department of Education and Training of Thanh Hoa shared.
According to this unit, the main cause of the incidents is that a part of students lack behavioral skills, control emotions, and are not aware of the harmful effects of violent behavior.
In addition, many students are negatively affected by social networks, games, and violent movies, leading to impersonation and deviation. In addition, due to the psychological characteristics of vulnerable adolescents, who like to express themselves, combined with the lack of attention from their families due to the pressure of making a living, children lack orientation and timely sharing.

In addition, schools are required to strengthen supervision, detect early risks of violence, make a list of students showing signs of stress, conflict with friends, drop out of school, regularly playing games... to have appropriate educational measures, attracting students to participate in healthy activities.
