Recent school shootings

Besides complaining about my life, I think it would be time well spent if I wrote about serious problems going on in the world. For instance, school shootings have been going on for as long as I can remember. It is a shame that these sort of things are still going on. Even though gun control laws have been changed and have became stricter. More shootings still have been occuring. Unfortunately, the typical school shootings are done by students who are troubled or have been abused. In Cleveland, Ohio, a student shot five students and himself. This tragedy occurred on wednesday, just a few days ago. The students of SuccessTech knew the shooter was troubled and had threatened the school before. In addition, the shooter had been suspended from school before the shooting. I believe that he probably thought that he would be getting revenge at the school for suspending him.

For instance, the shootings at Virginia Tech, a professor knew there was something wrong with the shooter. However, the staff never did anything to prevent or help the shooter. It is terrible how he was ignored and how he never recieved any help. If anyone knows about troubled students, they should recieve treatment.

I can not imagine going to a school where there is a shooting on campus. People watch and hear about these shootings on the news. However, they never believe that anything like that could happen to them. Until it does, it really has a big impact on their lives. My sister is a freshmen in high school and it could happen at any place at anytime. Honestly, its mostly the teenagers that might get abused by their parents and are confused about what they want out of life. So the saying goes "guns don't kill, people do". So I think controling the gun laws are not going to prevent teenagers from obtaining a gun. The parents should talk to their children about their lives. Instead of the abuse that causes these shootings because innnocent lives are at stake.
