The talk of the town these days is undoubtedly the issue of violence in our schools. The latest incident occurred at Thepsirin School, Nonthaburi.

And there's a trend of copycat violence, with students at Montfort School, Chiang Mai, announcing on Line that they would commit acts of violence at the school, causing panic among children, parents, and teachers. Security personnel had to be immediately deployed and security measures upgraded within the school.

Furthermore, a deranged individual went on a rampage at a primary school in Nonthaburi, creating chaos in the school, community, and Thai society. These incidents all indicate that Thai society is experiencing increased stress levels across all age groups – children, youth, working adults, and the elderly.
