my feelings about school shootings
People wonder why this had to happen to us
We were just trying to live our lives though we were soon shortly ended on that tragic day
The day he decided that by shedding the blood the innocent would somehow cleanse his soul yet in the end it had only clouded it even more with darkness and regret

And as the police sadly report to those that had lost loved ones they continued to ask them why
And they had no answers to give them only that the kid that did it was bullied so he did it as an act of revenge?

Though that may seem like the obvious answer it is much more complicated than that
For the person was bullied to no end they felt as though if they could erase their very existence from the world it would not only make those that teased and ridiculed happy but it would make the pain go away

Though they figured if they can make a statement that they were pushed to the breaking point than this would be prevented from happening again

Though sadly to say all it seemed to do was show others in their situation that they can get away with what they view as getting justice for what they went through even if it meaning a massacre flooding the streets of countless innocent people’s blood

Even if it means giving few that survive countless nightmares of the event occurring in their head as though it was a silent movie repeating itself in their head and they could never escape from it

Does that seem fair to you yet they claim it could all b stopped how can you prevent something that tragic from occurring

You probably think that if those that bully and ridiculed stopped and actually tried to be nice instead of treating them like a freak just because they were different than everyone else

Though it would be highly unlikely that it would of ever happen for no matter how many times people try to make themselves feel better by shooting up the place it will only keep happening because outcasts will always be led to think that they are worthless

As though they are less than those around them that it doesn’t matter what happens to them because they’re not important

Do you agree tell me if you were in the same situation would you feel as though you were invisible
Or would you feel for them and try to help them only in the end to know that it was a valiant effort

Even though you might think that one unselfish act can make a difference
Though in this case how many of unselfishness be made to make a difference and change the world for the better and actually end up preventing these horrifying acts of violence from occurring
