Carolina's Homework Aug. 22/2008

Student killed in shooting at Tenn. school

This articles is about this tragedy that took placed in
a Tennessee High School. Apparently, for no reason, this kid shoot his classmate at the cafeteria. They were both 15 years old. Students that witness the shooting say they didn't know what was going on until they saw the victim falling on the floor. Some students said they "heard a sharp noise" and then everybody was running out of the cafeteria. Others were trying to get in the room to see what was happening. The murderer is in a detention facility.

My opinion and thoughts:

Of course this is not the first time this has happened. Not only in this year but in this month. This is a serious tragedy. It seems like it is turning into something "common", we need to not give up and pay attention to what is going on with our students in high schools. It is sad that soon we will have to get to the point to check every student when they get to school to see if they are carrying a weapon. This is not only the job of the Governor or President. This should be a community job. We should start by giving our youth a better education, better values, and teach them about respect for our own life and for others.
