Producing the greatest minds, the world has never seen which has greatly revolutionized the world that we live in. however school experiences are different and vary from one person to another. Schools that someone attended has for a long time be used as pride and honor to the person if the experience they had was good and conducive.

Bad experiences that students go through in schools is much constituted by school violence in form of mental torture, bullying and physical harm.
