I am waiting for the day these murders make thier way to colleges. These high school kids are juniors and seniors that are looking to advance in life as we all are. When the two killers at Columbine High School decided that they were going to go on a shooting spree they left a video behind and a quote from Shakespeare. These are not the words of kids who are not educated enough to be in college. There is an underlying belief that these kids fall prey to the pressure of not fitting in at school or social stresses and go on these killing rampages because of these stresses.
Nothing really changes from high school to college in stress.
If anything, life becomes even more stressful. As college students some of the greatest stress in life is balancing social life, work and school. Many kids are leaving home for the first time when they go to college and others are trying to find new crowds to hang out with on the weekends. In a first year in college, students join clubs or fraternities to try to fit in. This is the same principal as joining sports in high school.
