It starts at home. I was 14 years old when Columbine happened. You know what I’ve noticed that has changed? Father absence. Shitty parenting. We can blame guns, as I once did. But that’s not the root cause. It starts at home. We might not prevent all school shootings, but we could reduce them. Parents today blame teachers and everyone else but themselves. My dad was very strict on me and he sided with teachers when I was bad at school. Now, parents point the finger at teachers.

Sadly when someone wants to hurt people they will find a way to do it. A gun is easier but vehicles and knives have been used. Fertilizer can be turned into a weapon Oklahoma shows us that. Planes were used on 9/11. I don’t know what the answer is sadly. Evil people do evil things. I think mental health help could help a lot of people. But sadly many won’t seek out the help and we can’t force it on them. It’s scary and not fair and I’m sorry for that. I can’t change it but I can send love and hugs because I think we all could use more of that. Idk I wanted to end my comment nicer than it started because it is such a dark subject ❤ much love and respect

I feel that. I still have some more schooling left but it is kinda scary to think about. I have experience an attack on my school bus when I was a kid but no one was hurt and it was over within seconds nothing too major. I am more worried about my nephew growing up. I have been part of actual lockdown drills that turned out to be a prank and a few that were a poorly behaved child but nothing to this extreme. I don't want my nephew to go through that too

I was 16 when this happened. My entire high school life was change. I dropped out about 3 mths later. I wasnt even there and about 500 miles away and it effected me so much that i had to drop out. No one understands what a teen goes through when this type of stuff happens. Even when its wasnt directly happing to you. Watching kids your age being dead on tv. Shot and crying. No. It shouldn't have been on the news the way it was. It was awful for me. I was terrified to even look at a school. When my kids started school age. It started all over again. I though i would be ok. Nope. Just the snell of the school set me off. My kids were homeschooled after my oldest first week. Never looked back.

It would be insane to witness something like this. You would never be the same. I'll never understand why people want to hurt others this badly. The mental health of our youth needs to be taken seriously. I'm glad those two Crumley parents were just found guilty. If you see signs in your own kid get them help. Schools have a huge responsibility in the mental health of kids as well. They spend all day at school, therefore schools are responsible for the children during that time "In loco parentis". My heart goes out to all the families and survivors.
