1 am 15 years old,a freshman in Salinas, CA.there is a lot of violence occuring in our city because of the economy and gangs...schools are being affected...so my question is that since violence is beginning to increase and gangs are becoming a more fearful matter in schools,what happens if a group of teens come to a honor student, A's and B's,just a very nice friend, and starts beating him into a corner. What are you supposed to do? See our school uses Zero telerance... should he let them beat him until he bleeds and wait for an Adult to come.What if none are around."Tough luck,maybe next time we'll do "something". Even though that something means nothing.Even though it's too late....Or go by instinct and common sense which is to fight back like a smart person would do and protect his well being. But even though this guy or girl is smart and inocent in his or her actions,he gets suspended for fighting or even expelled for SELF-Defense.My point is that teachers ,principals taught science,math,english, and especially history. History about freedom, our founding fathers, our people defending themselves from an unfair king who then took money from them and gave them a nice kick and punch to the face while they lay on the floor.But still rose to work and got a little of what they earn. The next day,they started all over again. Teachers in schools talk about men and women having the right to hold a gun and use it to defend against robbers and criminals in which they applaud because they believe they did the right thing.Teachers are smart and we are fortunate for that but unfairness of the idea(zero tolerance), which the parents and teachers thought of, for suspension because of the act of defending yourself is wrong especially a group against one teen. How can we ever be safe when we have to sacrifice part of our lives, in what is supposed to be a safe school, just to wait for one teacher when we get beaten and bruised in what not a fight no more but an attack without retailiation from the victim...Its sad...i would not fight but if by a group who beats you giving the impression like they are going to kill you is something i wouldn't take.

sorry if its not worded correctly...the reason that i put this on here is because that if Zero tolerence is going to be used i wish it had some modifications so that it'll be more fair...which means no consequences for acts that are right...and among other things that is unfair in the policy

guns and drugs could stay but i'm not talking about guns and drugs should be allowed...no thats a big mistake...it should stay illegal...for all those people who think i dont want the policy or think guns and drugs and violence should not be tolerated...no i am talking about there should be fairness in the act of self-defense....etc.
