Hello readers! How is everyone doing today? I hope you are having a fantastic week and staying hydrated. Eleven days remain until we celebrate Christmas, and I am always happy when I read the "perfect gift challenge."
It is nice to see everyone mentioning the gifts they want to give others, and you are even getting rewarded for it, and that is nice.
Most of us may have been bullied when we were kids, which could have hurt our confidence and made us feel weak and useless.
Bullying has been here for ages, and I don't think it only has to do with schools; in fact, adults sometimes bully other adults, which usually happens between the rich and the poor.
In the U.S, there have been several cases of school shootings, and when I say several, I am being serious; if you check the website, you will find out that so many of these children may have been bullied until they couldn't take it anymore.
I am not justifying that they killed other students because of their anger, but if they were never bullied, I don't think they would have taken up those guns and killed their fellow students.
Some kids on that list were not bullied, and they only felt like doing it because they wanted to feel like adults.
There was a recent school shooting where the parents were said to have bought their child a gun on Black Friday because it had a discount, can you imagine?
I don't know what his parents thought, but I don't think they are qualified to be parents because if they could buy a gun for their fifteen-year-old son, I am not sure what they do behind the scenes.
Maybe they thought he would use it to play or something in their minds, but instead, he went to his school and killed four of his fellow students and injured seven.
Can you imagine how the deceased student's parents would be feeling? They sent their children to school to learn, hoping they would be safe from any threat, but instead, the threat was their fellow student who murdered them in cold blood.
I can't even begin to imagine hearing that your child is dead, a child you have raised and loved for 15-16 years ends up dead all because of someone else; it is unfortunate.
No child should ever die before their parents, and it is always sad to hear news of children dying because they are only children, they had their whole lives ahead of them, and it was cut short by someone else.
It is not like the shooter was bullied or anything; he just felt like doing it, which is the sad part.
Those children died over his whim, and even though he is serving life imprisonment, it would never bring them back.
I don't think everyone should be a parent because some don't even know what it means to be one; they never inquire into their children's lives and only provide things for them.
I blame the shooter's parents for this problem because they bought the gun he used to kill his classmates, and they thought he was an adult capable of making his own decisions for himself.
I think that is the problem most parents have with their children nowadays; they are starting to think a fifteen-sixteen-year-old is an adult when biologically they are not adults, they are still children.
A 15-16-year-old is not thinking the same way an adult would think because they don't think of the consequences of their actions; they would only think of the excitement they would feel doing it.
I genuinely think parents should start looking into their children's classmates and friends because we have to take their lives seriously and not think they are adults capable of doing everything.
When your child seems to be having trouble at school, question them and try to get information from them because they may be going through a bad situation in school.
Children try to mimic adults by hiding their problems and not telling anyone because they think they can handle the situation all by themselves, but that is not the truth.
It is a parent's job to guide and care for a child, especially when they seem to be having troubles.
I hope these frequent school shootings stop once and for all because children dying is unfortunate.
Thank you for reading!
That is why parents need to spend quality time with their kids and also become their friends so their kids can confide in them. This is very important.
