Shooting in Tennessee School

Early this morning a sixteen year old lost his life because another teenager decided to take it by shooting him. This is how violence escalates, one kid picks on another and the school does absolutely nothing about it until something such as this incident happens. Where are the principals in all of this, the  counselors who are supposed to be there to help? Do they wonder why they have to worry about kids bringing guns to school....there should be a message loud and clear right there! I've experience bomb threats during middle school but I lived in a small town and their reasoning was to call in to get out of a test so we pretty much knew it was a lie. During high school a kid filled ball point pens with mace and sprayed a bunch of us, sending us to the hospital but thats the worst it's gotten. I admit, some kids do it because they just feel like it, they get a high off of it but 96% of the time its due to bullying....I say this needs to end! Every school should have peer counseling or counseling to deal with these issues, make sure the students are safe and well maintained physically and emotionally. Its high time the principals, teachers, and counselors got off their butt and do something to help with the situation other than write it off.

You are so right about that teacher don't care and let other kids pick on others...

What needs to be done is every time in any school in America if there is a shooting FIRE the pricibal..It is his job to see that teachers make suer the kid are safe..

it is his job to see to it bad kids are punished,it his job to see that teachers see to it that the bad kids are punished..

But to tell you the truth i think teachers are scared of kids today,there scared the kid wil come to school and shoot them...
