This is wrong of me, but when the school shootings first started happening more and
more often, I didn't pay much attention to it - honestly. I was in 9th grade when I
heard about them for the first time (not the first time ever, but the first time
concerning repeated school shootings) and I didn't see how that exactly pertained to
me. Now that I am more knowlegdeable when it comes to the news and current events, I
can understand the vast importance that things such as the Columbine massacre have.
For the past two days, this subject has been on practically every one of my friends'
minds. We talk about it in class, over lunch, after school. It is all too much of a
reality for we 16-17 year olds. I can guarantee you who are parents that as scared as
you are for your children's lives, they are as equally, if not more, for their own.
