Sad but due to society so violent they have to treat every situation the same.
People today rather use guns that fist or learn to talk it out.

Back in 1970's when I moved from Louisiana with my parents to California there was boxing gyms for kids on every corner. I joined a gym to make friends and learned hard lesson about life. This was the first thing my trainer told me. "Life will hit you hard. Winners get back up to take the next punch and hit back harder." Boxing taught me how to train, protect myself, and gave me pride in myself. I learned what I did wrong when I lost matches to come back and win the next match.
Learned self control, but learned how to take care of myself when bully messed with me. Pride and confidence gave me the courage to not back down to bullies and try to talk it out.

When fight with weapons instead of fist or give awards to everyone instead of winners you are not teaching anyone anything. Developing a generation failures.
