Paula Butt Brighton High School Children learn from their parents and peers. I have seen adults make fun of minorities and handicapped people. Our society needs to wake up. Allie Garber Brighton High School Acts of violence committed by students are based upon a lack of responsibilities. Students have the responsibility of learning right from wrong, good from bad and respect for others.
Parents have the responsibility of teaching their children moral and ethical practices.
Society must enforce the laws to prevent violence and to maintain citizens' rights. Students must acknowledge other people's rights. Parents have to mold their children's thinking patterns to help them control their aggression. And parents need to take part in assuming responsibility for their children's actions against others. There are many risks of shootings in my school alone, and the students are not made aware of what to look for.
