Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 14 Feb 18

What Is A 15 Year Old Student Doing With Guns?

Janey1966 @Janey1966 (24170) • Carlisle, England 30 Nov 10

It never fails to amaze me how kids over in the US have access to guns and can wreak havoc in their own schools. On this occasion I actually feel sorry for the kid involved as he seemed like a "model student" and had no "issues"...

What's wrong with the kids of today?

suchi60 @suchi60 (912) • India 29 Jul 09

Not a happy topic to discuss about, but there is a lot of media hype about incidents of shootings at schools in the U.S. This brings us to consider stringent actions against these perpetuators of crime, but the fact remains that...

nehrlas @nehrlas (202) • United States 11 Oct 07

I am tired of hearing about school shootings. About our kids not being in safe at the one place we send them each day. How do we know if they have made a kid mad that will shoot them. What if they are a victim of random bullets in...
