I thought my school might be next. After the Littleton shootings, two students were expelled for bringing a bullet and a knife to my school. Today, I stopped a possible fight by suggesting a game of basketball to my friend, who was going to be the victim. The basketball courts are right next to where the teachers stand, so I knew we were safe. I think it is best to be prepared.
Bad things do happen.
We should practice what to do in a real crisis. Also, I would get a group together to be mentors. These students should not be violent themselves, or they might set a bad example. It is hard to get people to unite together, but if just one person would lend a hand to a student in need, it would help. Violence is only another way of saying you need help.
