Scary huh? What ideas do you have on your mind right now?
Children from ages 12-18 have caused more and more violence every year. From 2000 to now, most of the children killed where because of bullying, harassment, and threats. For example On “ **Nov. 10, 2000 **  - Dawn-Marie Wesley, 14, of Mission, B.C., hangs herself with her dog's leash in her bedroom. She leaves a suicide note naming three girls at her school she said were "killing her" because of their bullying.” (CBC NEWS) Other teens have been beaten to death or stabbed. Many deaths also had to do with there older siblings. Some sibling has tried to defend the other one and the others were involved in killing one another. Children that have the problem of divorced parents or single parents are in more pressure then other students. They also keep the problems to themselves without telling anyone. Soon later they can’t handle it anymore so they pressure themselves to suicides. Cyber Bullying has increased a lot more because of the new technology that has been invented lately. There are more threats flying around on the internet and SMS then there was a couple years ago. People also have posted things on the internet like Home Made Bombs, and where you can get guns. Columbine had a shooting also with bombs they made themselves.

FUN??

Not Really...
(CNN) – “A gunman who killed at least 30 people in one of two shootings on the campus of Virginia Tech was dressed "almost like a Boy Scout," said a student who survived by pretending to lie dead on a classroom floor. ” In the end, the killer killed himself by shooting himself in the head. Also on Valentines Day (this year), another killing had taken place. The action took place at NIU (Northern Illinois University) Even though the man wasn’t student at that school, but he had killed 5 people and himself injuring at least 18 people. Not even his girlfriend knew why he did what he did. The only thing he left behind was a letter saying he loved her. More and more killings in university have been taking place, and many people are getting killed and hurt.
