In today’s world, a perfect life is hard to come by. What most people think is that you will have a straight line into success, without and bumps or setbacks. That is wrong. Life is not perfect to everyone, and hardly anyone will go from being a child to being successful very easy. Becoming successful takes years of education and working hard. But, no matter how hard you work, life will always have a set back for you. You just have to know how to face them.. There are multiple things that…

Firearms can be used for protection or otherwise used for dangerous intentions. For example, the military use them for appropriate reasons. Hunting, my family hunts, sometimes it is much cheaper than buying meat from the grocery store every week. On another note, school shootings are a large reason people are frightened of concealed carrying. Teachers may have good intentions for their students, but who knows if they are actually mentally stable? I do not think teachers should be allowed to…

Should child soldiers be given Amnesty? Child soldiers are victims and be should given amnesty because they are forced to kill even drugged to think that killing is ok, even know it’s not. They are also so young they are taken advantage of. Some of them should not be granted amnesty because they chose to be in the army so they basically chose to kill. But with the evidence below child soldiers are victims. They are victims because they were forced into being a soldier. Usually people volunteer…

Last week was the eight year anniversary of the tragedy at Columbine High School in Littleton CO. On April 20, 1999, two Columbine students came to school intending on killing as many people that get in their way, if that means by a gun, a bomb made out of a propane tank, or any of their grenades or devices made by hand. Twelve students and one teacher died because of the horror caused by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. Eric and Dylan later committed suicide, but who are these kids? Another…

increase in violent crime. Why would we increase violence in schools when the goal is to increase protection? In addition, we are not addressing the issue of mental health by administering guns to our teachers. Donald Trump, who believes the recent massacre at an Oregon Community College could’ve been stopped by arming teachers, admits “This isn’t a gun problem, this is a mental problem.” We should be putting out efforts into combating mental health issues instead of arming teachers and adding…

Have you ever heard about mass hysteria? Well, it is a huge group of people being affected by an illness that no one is forsake about. In the last decade we have seen multiple incidents of mass hysteria. Mass hysterias happen mostly at schools because kids at schools would overreact, and with attacks they were seen as easy targets. It was April 13, 1989 in Santa Monica, California when a mass hysteria hit a high school. As kids were getting ready for their band concert everything seemed fine.…

word "Columbine” today, they do not think of the flowers that cover the Centennial State. Instead, the name “Columbine” now invokes thoughts of Columbine High School and the horrific event that ultimately defies the flowers’ beauty. The Columbine Massacre of 1999 was an eye opening tragedy that led to a series…

The Dodgeball Ban Is dodgeball a game or a discipline? I am against dodgeball because the non cool kids always get hurt and the gym teaches may not see it but the non cool kids are getting bullied. All of the incidents of dodgeball bullying and the most recent incident was at Elkton,Maryland. The school principal wanted to take a vote on keeping it or getting rid of it. Some of the participants in the voted and most of them said that it is inappropriate and it is the opposite of what we…

Sometimes you hear about a student at your school threatening to bring to a gun to school but they usually don’t. Well, at Cedar Crest High School in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, it happened, but it was much worse than bringing a gun to school. Matthew, a 16 year old student at that school, heard a boy repeating that he was going to start shooting people at the school. Then Matthew told the police what he knew and the police arrested three students that were going to shoot people at the school. But…
