Kids are tripped and hit, too. A person can take only so much. After a while, the victim will want the abuse to stop, and will think of ways to stop it. If these kids had someone to talk to, it would be different. That's why parents should develop a good relationship with their child, so he or she will not be afraid to come to them if something is really wrong.
Communication is the key to stopping the violence.
Although the shooting at Santana High School took place thousands of miles away, it has had an impact on me and other students at Brighton High School. The shooting has made us feel nervous and a little less comfortable coming to school each day. The hardest and scariest part for me is imagining what I'd do if it ever happened to me. Some kids don't take this seriously, but I do and so do many of my friends. Any time someone hears someone talking about bringing a gun to school or hurting others, it should be brought to a staff member's attention.
