Academic paper from 2006 in the field of German Studies - Didactics, grade: 1.3, language: German. Abstract: With the first day of school, a real power struggle begins, and the center of the child's life suddenly shifts to the realm of school. As a result, acceptance by peers becomes increasingly important. Not only children who are directly involved in a violent situation feel fear on the playground and on their way home, but also those who stand on the sidelines as observers. By merely observing, feelings and fears can develop about potentially becoming a victim of violence themselves. Many children carry these feelings with them for a long time without discussing them with a trusted person. Since the topic of violence is more relevant today than ever, the author has chosen to engage with the youth literature "Nicht Chicago. Nicht hier." by Ki.
