One of the great contemporary problems involving education is the school violence. The exponen-tially constant presence on the media ends up shocking society due to the gravity of the events and the breach of trust in the locale previously considered as safe and sacred, more and more this is-sue needs to be addressed as a Public Problem. This present work, setting out from recent school violence episodes, seeks to demonstrate the relevance of the violence prevention measures struc-tured in effective public policies materialized in the vision of future and in the resilience. It defends the idea that the violence situation can be created by the lack of “future gratification”, which would allow children, young adults and adults to motivate to invest today aiming at what is yet to come. What happens is a system of “luck and misfortune” where people with poorer social, cul-tural and financial levels despise the future and experience the present in an enlarged way due to not foreseeing an objective to be achieved or gratifications for their efforts. Therefore, they had the misfortune of being born in a less privileged environment, and everything positive that occurs to them is by chance. The resilience is the capacity of returning to the previous emotional state after suffering stressful experiences, which is very common in school violence episodes. Therewith, it is inferred that to intervene in this violence situation, the school must (1) become a place of protec-tion, learning and socialization, contributing for the resilience of the students, adapting them to many diverse adversities present in their environment and (2) create incentives and conditions for those children and young adults who generate violence so they can become influential actors in their own futures.
