On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold entered Columbine
             High School in Littleton Colorado, firing sawed-off shotguns and
             tossing homemade pipe bombs at their fellow students. Twelve
             classmates and one teacher were killed and twenty-three students were
             wounded before Harris and Klebold turned their guns on themselves.
             This was soon to be remembered as the biggest high school shooting in America.
             Columbine is among many schools with violence problems. These problems
             concerning violence in schools are caused from a number of problems within schools
             such as gangs, social factors, psychiatric drugs and even the influence of the media.
             Although violence is committed everyday in schools certain measures can be taken
             to prevent the violence from prevailing.
             One of the largest problems with violence in schools is gangs. Gangs in schools
             have potential to do more damage than imaginable. They are recognizable by their
             clothing. Gangs are sometimes recognized by the colors that they wear such as red,
             blue and black. In the famous Columbine shooting the gang named the Trench Coat
             Mofia was distinguished by their black trench coats and their gothic appearance.
             Appearance is important since different gangs have different images.
             Appearance is important and that is why president Clinton has worked with
             school districts such as long beach located in California to support school uniforms
             as a method for reducing teen violence. There are two ways that school uniforms
             One is that students will be better able to avoid the kind of trouble
             caused by showing gangs colors and styles (weather on purpose or
             accidentally) when they pass through gangs territories on the way to and
             The other way is that uniforms allow for easy and immediate identification of
             outsiders (like older gang members who do not belong on campus) (Goodwin 98).
             Another problem with with violence in schools is Psychatric drug...
