I worked at a school for 21 years and over those years, I watched the students there go from fun, happy, carefree teens that were a JOY to be around, to angry, bitter, scacastic kids that thought the world owed them something. My joy of being there turned to dread. I gave that job up just before all the school shootings stuff started.

I think it a sad state of affairs when todays teens start taking guns to school and want to kill other students and teachers and it is time for America to wake up and look what todays world is creating. I blame it on a lot of diffrent things, violence on TV, violent video games, TV programs that encourage sarcasim, so called music that encourages violence.... Hours and hours of news coverage when these shootings do take place, the access to the internet unsupervised, and last, parents that are just TO busy with their own lives to see what is going on right in their own houses. Just ask a parent of a teen, when was the last time they searched their teens room...... "OH, I can't do that! Lil Johnny will think I don't trust him and I can't invade his privacy!"

I could go on and on but I will stop here as I have drawn the picture. Just remember, America and parents need to WAKE UP!

One last comment. Parents can not help what their kids do all the time since they do need freedom to make their own choices, but if they have not had direction to make WISE choices, they are lost!
