I have read in newspaper recently that the problem of gangsterism in school is getting worryingly in my country. The kids as young as 12 had already their own gang and bullied other students. Is this problem happen in your country too? Have you experienced it before?

I have never experience it in my city and even my cousins who are still studying. It's not really that rampant here.

And you are just lucky :) I don't know what is wrong with today kids here. I was bad in my school years, but never this bad :) I have never involved in any gangs or bullied other students.

It depends on where you live in my country as to whether or not there are gangs in school. Most urban innercities have a problem in this regard. I have experienced this as a child when they bussed a couple of those gangster kids to my area. But, where I live now, it's extremely common. But, I'm not in school now, I mostly have to deal with it with people flashing gang signs, graffiti, robbery/muggings, and overall threats of violence, not all directed specifically against me.

I too have experienced it before in my school days. But it was a very rare case. It might be just 2-3 big cases in a year. But recently it was all over the news. It just becomes worrying.

In India we do not have much of a Gangs. So its not that bad. Though People miss their school days after it gets over.
