Effects of Female Aggression on Other Females' Attitudes About School
School violence is something that has garnered recent media attention. Columbine, the shootings in an Arkansas middle school and other events have turned the nations' eye to bullies and their impact. While the cases in which someone is killed gets a lot of attention both from the media and the administrators there is a type of school violence that receives very little fan fair but affects millions of students annually across the country.

About 22% of girls and 42% of boys do the bullying, and nearly half of the kids surveyed said it's OK to bully someone you don't like. In terms of dealing with the problem, teachers estimated that they intervened in 70% of incidents, but kids say this happens only 5% to 6% of the time. In effect, when videotaped, Peplar found teachers caught only 4% of incidents (Can, 1998)."

Forgiveness on human health. In its simplest form, the purpose of the study is to evaluate human psychological stress that might constitute a risk factor for heart disease. Further, the study will also evaluate the impact of forgiveness on heart disease. However, such a simple dissertation clearly demands further definition.

Alcohol Consumption Has on Risky Sexual Behavior Since the ancient days of Bacchanalian celebratory worship of the Greek pantheon, the consumption of alcohol and risky sexual rites have gone hand in hand. Both drinking and sex are considered to be pleasurable activities, and conservative or religious portions of the population may consider them to be sinful or immoral on varying scales. Regardless of whether alcohol and sexual activities have a
Domestic Violence on Children Many people throughout the world have traditionally believed that women's natural roles were as mothers and wives and considered women to be better suited for childbearing and homemaking than for involvement in the public life of business or politics.
