What the hell is up with the recent school shootings lately??

One in Colorado last week,one school closed in Nevada this morning and multiple people shot at an Amish school in Pennsylvania this morning

What is this world coming to?????

I KNOW! It'* crazy! Kinda makes me concerned for my mom, a 7th grade Language Arts teacher

there are some pretty hardcore badasses out there

WHAT, another one??? Okay what is happening? Are our kids under to much pressure, is it something in the water?? Something needs to be done!

H e l l in a handbasket!! This is so sad that this is happening. When I was in school the worst thing we did was talk or chew gum. Now the kids have to fear for their lives. I think it is the parents lack of participation in their kids lives and not knowing who they are hanging around with, what sites they are viewing online, etc. Parents need to monitor what their kids are doing. That is just my 2 cents on this situation.

I'm with Tracy..

There'* not enough whoopazz being handed out when needed.

I have to agree with Tracy (non-moderator one), IMO, the parents aren't involved in the kids' lives, even if they are, it'* probably not enough. I've heard of some families calling their kids via cell to tell them that dinner'* ready then they all go apart after getting their food. The parents don't question them enough, such as "Who'* your friend, where'* their parents, phone number, address, curfew...etc" Now it'* just call once in a while. For some kids who'* actually mature "the call me once in a while" route will work fine but nowaday, most kids aren't. Basically, the parents need to be hanging out with the kids, do what the kids like (for example if your daughter enjoy shopping, go shopping with her, if your son enjoys racing, take him racing) And as alway, "NO" from a kid is his way of telling you "Yes, I want you there"

UPDATE:

Police say a man by the name of "Roy" went into the Amish school and started making threats and approx 10 shots were fired..

At least 3 children hospitalized ,one in critical condition and the shooter took himself out

bad parents.

new punishment: for every kid your kid kills, we slice off one of your fingers after pulling the fingernail out.

kinda lax, but hey. tack onto that a prison sentence plus instant euthanasia of the kid doing the murdering and suddenly, youll have good parents.

we need to take a more hands-on approach to evolution. remove the bad parents from the gene pool and itll get better.

NICKEL MINES, Pa. - Six people were shot to death at a one-room Amish schoolhouse in Pennsylvania'* bucolic Lancaster County Monday, and at least three young girls were hospitalized in critical condition, authorities said.
