Bullied students
Quote From: ajh1232The people who do school shootings don't just decide they are going to. Something is wrong. They are picked on by the kids you may be trying to keep safe. I understand wanting to keep people safe, but if the kids weren't picked on in the first place, it could be avoided. Stop bullying in schools. Stop the fighting and get people anger management. Turning school into prison won't work because mostly, people are not going to want to pay for it, even if it's for the children. We need to stop the violence before it escalates into something as large as a shooting. Bullied students are not the only ones who go berzerk. Once a child is introduced into the public school system they are influenced by other students who may or may not have been raised with the same caring and supportive ways that you or I have. Some "parentless" students join gangs and intimidate other students into committing crimes. I live in Texas and the violence in our schools has become a very serious issue. Many of the students, in the school that my grandchild attends, end up in alternative school to deal with issues of violence. Her school does have a one way in, one way out entrance with a guard at the entrance. It has come to that and I'm willing to pay for it to keep my child safe. We live in a "parentless" time. There are more children today that receive no guidance or direction than in days past. It's unfortunate, but true. I, and my granddaughter, do what we can to not contribute to aggressive behavior and make certain that school staff is aware of students who are acting out in a violent manner so that they can receive the guidance they need.
