Now I'm so scared. My 7-year-old brother has autism, and he gets teased a lot. I'm afraid that when he gets to high school, his big sister won't be there to protect him and he could get hurt.

Perry Hall isnt that far from where i live. it is such a tragedy, SOMETHING needs to be done. Too many people get hurt in these exact scenerios, and often it's a direct resut of bullying. My thoughts and prayers are with the family of the injured boy.
btw @prettylollipop21, just because it happens in other countries doesnt make it right or any less tragic

Also (because I forgot this in my previous comment) don't think that just because you don't go to whatever school or live near whatever city n't happen to you. This can happen anywhere. The place where this happened is (not was, IS)one of the safest communities in the area.

Also, don't assume that just because there was a shooting that this school is a bad school. It is a great school and it only takes one crazy personn to mess things up for everyone. Columbine was also a pretty high-class school. Not that Columbine was like this, but you get my point.

I have a HUGE fear of stuff like this happening. I live not too far from an important city so I have fears of terrorist attacks. Whenever a school shooting comes up I get nervous, but now I'm terrified since I'm starting high school! The school I go to is big, but still. How do I deal with these fears!!?? Please help!!

 

Hey girl! Remember that the reason stuff like this makes the news is because it's SO RARE.  Out of thousands and thousands of schools in the country, one school every once in a while has an incident.  Schools are usually safe places, so remember that! xoxo

A girl was stabbed at my school a few years ago. She was a random victim; in thw wrong place at the wrong time. Luckily she survived, but school here has felt very unsafe since.

MOD!!!!!!!MOD!!! My school is so hypocritical! Last year a student I WAS friends with threatened to shoot three girls,including my best friend. He was caught with a gun at a football game, and expelled. My friend and I were so relieved. And yet the school has allowed the gun man to return this year. I'm terrified, I don't trust him, now I don't trust my administrators. They say they're doing everything to make the school "safe", then why'd they let him back? My best friend is terrified she's been diagnosed with anxiety because of it. How can I help her to feel safe again?

 

hey! that's awful! I can't believe your school would allow him back. You should tell your parents, all of you, so that they can contact the administrators and find out exactly what measures are being taken to keep your friend and everyone else safe. Since she was explicitly threatened that should be the school's priority. good luck!

Some of you are making assumptions and I'd like to clear things up.

The student was not targeted. He was shot at random as far as the authorities know. That does not under any circumstances excuse the shooting, but please get all of the information before you make judgements.

On my fifth day of school, there was a lockdown because a guy with a gun came onto my high school during lunch. It was really scary. School is supposed to be safe! This is all very upsetting to see similar situations all over the country. I am scared to go places because of these things that happen. I hope that the boy that got shot ends up okay. Nobody at my school got hurt. Remember chicas: report suspicious people! You could save a life. <3

Oh, and occurences like this are no more common than they were fifty years ago, but the news blows everything out of proportion. Also, to the people who are asking why fifteen year olds own guns, over 75% of households have at least one firearm.. Some people like to hunt.

So there is his new guy at my school who is really cute and it hink i have a crush on him. ive talked to him and he seems really cool. the only problem is a ton of girls like him and have asked him out already and he said no. he said he is going to ask out one of my best friends and she is going to say yes. HELP! what should i do???? thanks in advanced and sorry for all of my questions!
-laney<3

 

Hey! don't be sorry, we mods are here to help! If you think he's going to ask your friend out there's not a lot you can do, so you may have to take some steps to get over him. It can be hard, but on the site we have a lot of articles under get a bf/ splitsville to help you guys sort out feelings like this. My advice with most boy situations is to wait and see what happens, because he might not ask your friend out at all, ya just don't know. good luck girl!

What the heck is wrong now? What the heck is up with all these shootings? Why are people using guns? It's not necessary. Most people who use guns use it for amusement. How the heck is it fun! Every one who uses a gun for reasons like this are sick! They need help! There's no need for a gun! Leave people alone let them live their life! The kid is 15 why do you have a gun! I don't understand what would poses people to do or even think about it. Yall are sick! That guy from the movie theater was sick! That guy from that shooting in Arizona was sick! Every person who's been shooting people in schools are sick! It's a freaking SHAME!
