My question as reading the same story as I have been hearing since the Columbine shootings, who's next?
Schools have made much effort to prevent this type of psycho loser kid from walking into school with ultimate revenge in mind, all for not, so it seems.
Here's the fact of the high school environment: 1) there are clicks in school 2) there are the so called 'cool kids', and the nerdy groups 3) the cool kids generally give the nerdy groups a hard time, often time making fun or them or just being outright mean.
With those facts in place, it's time for a solution, and it's quite simple. ready? Talking. That's it. The signs of a potential insane shooter have been clearly identified, now step 2, talking to these people. They need help. If a child goes to school depressed, with an insane sort of demeanor that only gets worse, RED FLAG. This child needs help!
The bullying, making fun, and all other mean things, are mean, but does not deserve death as punishment!
So I beg, all parents out there, please, please, please recognize the signs, and please do not be afraid to approach your child. Please.
The shootings, all tragic, are beginning to become such common news, that the shock factor of reading this news is now gone. Still tragic, but, no longer shocking.
