Stress / Trauma / Pressure Stress: Limited access to resources Child Abuse and Neglect South Seattle

PTSD-refugees' experience Child Abuse and Neglect Kent

Trauma/intergenerational Child Abuse and Neglect Kent

Inability to manage emotions Unexcused Absences Snoqualmie

I think that the root cause of the higher bullying rate for 8th graders would be

the surprising level of of stress they are under, as middle school can be a time

of major depresion Bullying Shoreline

Pressure/rigor of school work; Lack of sleep due to homework load and early

Root cause: increased access to marijuana School Safety Shoreline

Many students are looking for a way to fit in so they give in to peer pressure

and turn to drug use School Safety Shoreline

The level of drug use can be traced to levels of engagement in activities

(particularly early engagement) and the level to which students feel

connected to their community School Safety Shoreline

Easy access almost anywhere, not considered a "hard drug", seems safer School Safety Shoreline

Social media can glamorize drug use-different numbers, different classes and

how they interact with one another School Safety Shoreline

Poverty Child Abuse and Neglect Kent

Abuse might be occuring when parents struggle financially and are too tired to

teach their children good work habits and what they should do - when this

happens the student might struggle in school and as punishment the parent

releases their stress and rage by abusing their struggling child Child Abuse and Neglect Shoreline

Economic struggles could trigger abusive parents ; substance abuse; history of

Acceptance of early pregnancy

I think more Hispanic/Latina women women are pregnat at younger ages

because living conditions aren't stable enough, or the income may have an

effect on the cause Middle School Education Outcomes Shoreline

Rates of pregnancy differ with race because of cultural differences. Certain

cultures may be more accepting of early pregnancy. Middle School Education Outcomes Shoreline
