Hello, I know it has been awhile if there are any of you who may have read my blog before today. Hello to new readers! I have not posted for awhile due to life circumstances. I am going to begin posting again. I have been recovering from depression, which was triggered by routine change due to adjusting to life without school. Anyways, I just thought to give you a little information, which may have been too much.
Today we are discussing school violence with the use of weapons. School violence has been in the newspapers for years now ever since the Columbine Shooting. Yes, school violence is rare even for the United States and really rare from some other countries. Side note, school violence is still rare in the United States because if it was common it would happen as much times as normal violent crime like assault and rape.
Canadian girl went psycho with two kitchen knives and began slashing fellow students and individuals down the hallways at her school. This girl was flat out running through the halls of her school and slashing people. That must have been a terrible sight.
However, you do not see the news sites making a really big deal about the incident. I think the only way that they would make a big story about is if she was wielding a gun rather than knives. They also just had another school incident in Canada where a shooting occurred last month killing four people.
Once again this shows that people who want to harm others will find ways to harm people with whatever weapon they can find or the most convenient. Honestly, I think the reason school violence has become a problem is due lack of discipline, lack of responsibility, and lack of family support.
Many children are not being taught to take responsibility for their own actions. They are being taught to blame the world for their actions, make excuses, and are expecting not be punished for their actions. Furthermore, it is the parents and teachers responsibility to discipline children when needed and to teach them to take responsibility for their actions. Lastly, parents also need to try harder to have themselves or other family members watch their children and to get their children help when they notice that their is abnormal behavior to reduce school violence.
Guns are not the problems, but lack of socialization, responsibility, and discipline are the problems.
