I myself think its sick that these so called 'outsiders', kids that are not considered to be apart of the in crowd go to school with loaded weapons and start shooting ... I feel that every school should have some if not more security ... I wasnt apart of the in crowd but I wouldnt never think of harming or killing someone because I dislike them or they picked on me ....... what are your thoughts on this subject?

I was constantly bullied and harrassed in school, but I NEVER dreamed of bringing in a weapon and wounding and killing my fellow classmates. I think the kids who do this must feel hopeless and that no one is there to help them. I think parents and teachers need to do a lot more to teach children compassion, tolerance, and respect for differences.

It bugs me when parents blame the entertainment industry for their kids' behavior. It is the PARENTS who are supposed to set a good example for their children and teach them right from wrong, not Hollywood.

the reason why I posted this topic is because of the recent tragic event that took place today in Red Lion, PA ... where a 14 yr old shot and killed his principal and shot and killed himself ... this has got to stop, nothing is bad enough to kill another human being





R.I.P Principal Gene Segro, May you never be forgotten

There was another school shooting today? I haven't even heard. That's just so sad :crying: No innocent person should have to die for any reason.
