Law should better address juvenile violence

Another video of youth violence was posted recently on the Internet, and incomplete statistics show that more than 20 incidents of violence in schools were reported during the first half of 2015. Comments:
Although school violence will bring long-term mental hurt to the victims, in reality, most of those bullied, in fear of embarrassment or revenge from the abusers, choose to tolerate the bullying and remain silent. Under such circumstances, it is unrealistic to ask the teenage victims to rationally and wisely fight against school violence. Substantial action must be taken, such as learning from the overseas practice of establishing a penalty system specially tailored for juveniles.
