OMG that was so sad but how did the kid get a shotgun in school it is so so sad

and Moltov coktails

Wait wait. He committed suicide in school with a shotgun and molotov coktails?

only with shotgun

but he had the coktails

Was he going to like hurt people or something with them?

Getting a shotgun into school wouldn't actually be that hard... sadly

sawed off too

its good that he killed himself before he killed anyone else

yeah atleast he didn't kill anyone

very scary stuff, guys...i'm freaked, too

nobody in this school would do that

i'm with you rach...you just never know.

our students arent smart enough for months of planning

not one person in this school doesnt have at least 1 friend

Unfortunatly it can happen to any person at any time

there are various reasons why someone would react in that way - friends is just one

yes it does! that 1 person keeps the person from even thinking about a shooting

I agree with mrs. Hoffman

a kid would need to be really messed up in the crainium to shoot up a school

I did not say that

Something like this makes me reevaluate how people treat each other.We are often quick to point fingers at each other + look at neg. things

I think we need to focus on the positives and be nicer to each other.

is it looking at neg. things or is it realism?

I don't think it is realism - to me that implies that it is ok to do which it is not

I think people do these things because they're unnoticed and need some sort of human interaction. I think friends prevents this... mostly

There will always be cases of kids people thought were normal and fine but do these things too

but think about what we could do to change that

little things sometimes can make a difference in someone's day

yes it does, when a day starts off bad it puts me in a slump all day

when something bad happens i think about it all day and it rises quickly

exactly - as individuals I think we have a larger impact on people than we realize. We can help someone out or tear them down quickly

I would like it if we did alot more of the helping out

its better if you look at it every way and detirmine if its even worth thinking about

I know! For example I know I am not fashion forward and all that but...

It still crosses my mind in the morning "I hope they don't make fun of my outfit" and I am an adult

thats why Albert wore the same outfit everyday

thats one less thing to worry about in his day

I agree- so I try to just do my best each day and think "what can I do to make a difference in someones day today" and work from there

it makes a difference

yes it does

but I guess that kinda takes some respect to work

most people in sports are generaly pretty nice

I was talking to the kids from Holly and Pembroke and they were great people

you should join

you and cori are friends

plus there is lots of standing around so good time to talk to people

you should but try to pass math next time

I think everyone is nice - we just need to find out more about them

I think I am fortunate enough to have such great students (past and present) and it couldn't get better

yeah, like I know everyone but I only really know certain people well, like their families and situations

I really can't say I have a fav because there are things I like about each of them

i agree with all of you...people in general need to be more tolerant of everyone. I'm guilty of this too..we all are.

but we do have the power to change the course of someone's actions..i think we forget that sometimes..

I was reading the newspaper and there was this article on him he was at the same youth conference I was at--I

We were in the same diocese and I heard him talk about his struggles

it's really eerie to think about that now that I know that I've seen him before

wow that would be sad

Things like this are why I try to be nice to everyone even the people that annoy me. Cause I don't like to think of people being so sad as

to do something like this

it is truly unbelievable that someone could feel that isolated, isn't it? I can't lie..the whole thing is terrifying to me!
