I am an eighth-grade student at Wescott Junior High School in Westbrook. I feel that the violence in our schools and in the whole world needs to stop.
Someone needs to take a stand and fight for a good future.
I think that only the children of today can do this. I used to think that it will never happen to me because I live in such a small, un-violent town. The recent school shootings have made me realize that it doesn't matter where you live, it happens everywhere. I now wake up every morning and think, is this going to be my last day. The fact that I can't tell the future scares me.
