I just heard on the news at 5:00p.m. EST that there was another school shooting at Virginia Tech...

We should pray for the families and the gaia members that were directly affected...

That's three school shootings this school year! The first was at Dawsons College in Montreal, Canada...I live in Ottawa... that was close to home...

What is the youth of North America, meaining the Dominion of Canada and the United States of America, coming to?

Thirty people were killed. Others injured. The shooter walked into a dorm and shot people. He then showed up two hours later and shot more students. The students didn't even know about the first shooting. I will be praying. My dad was there two weeks ago for a college reunion. That could've been him.

They could have known. The administration just thought that it was an "isolated incident" and that the students would be "safer" going about their everyday lives instead of having them freak out. crying ........ scream .......*wants to lock the door to the psychology lab and not come out*

Three this school year, and the government is still not taking serious measures to protect the students. We're a different generation than the people in power now; they don't understand what's going on behind the curtain... all they care about are test scores and football games.... crying

Don't you hate it when the government has confused priorities? And my parents answer to this is that "Oh, you can't keep living in fear. It doesn't happen very often..." Well, I say that's three school shootings and counting!

Living in fear and feeling the need to do something about it are two very different things... you can't just throw a blanket over things like this and pretend that they never happened. Ignoring the problem isn't going to make it go away....

But at the same time, what CAN we do? Other than be an example.

I plan on writing more poems than the ones I have now, get them published, and see if I can get them sold everywhere! Other than that, I don't know...Maybe we should discuss it at school...That's all I can think of now...
