Though the money, time and effort is great, the regard would be greater. The assurance of the safety of the students, the assurance of a reduction in suicide rates and teenagers going into depression, are only the tip of the iceberg. By implementing these laws, we would be able to set examples and thus remind the students that the high school does not take issues like such, lightly. Moreover, the benefits of implementing the CCTV system can be seen all over the world, firms, banks, offices, all agree to the fact that the implementation of the CCTV system has dramatically reduced all criminal activities in the firm. The benefits greatly overweigh the hard work and so this proposal is one that is bound to succeed
