Gary and Brendan initially believe that violence was the best way to stop all the bullying they…

Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado is home to one of the deadliest high school shootings in United States history. On April 20, 1999, two Columbine High School students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, went on a shooting rampage at their high school (shooting teachers and students) killing fifteen, including themselves, and injuring twenty-four others. The two very-troubled boys hoped to kill thousands of people, but when their homemade bombs failed to detonate, they resorted to guns…

gun violence in schools. Certain federal and state laws have made schools gun free zones, and, as a result, fewer students are carrying guns, and it is more difficult to get a gun into a school zone. Also, many schools have surveillance cameras placed on school grounds, which may deter those planning to commit a school shooting. Another action taken to reduce the danger of a school shooting is requiring students to use see through backs packs to reduce the chance of a firearm entering school…

Statistics show that “85% of teens” (Callister, Clark, Robinson, Phillips 1) play video games, “77% preteens own a console” (1), and 75% of the video games consist of gore/violence. The violent acts shown on the news seem as if they were taken out of a video game. Similarities are seen in the actions and behaviors between virtual character in video games and actual homicides, Shoot out, and any other kind of violent actions.

I really hate violence, and a beautification of violence. When I was a student, or a soldier, there were a lot of violence in almost all groups I was in. The biggest reason why I love to study in the US is that it is not possible to watch a violent situation in the school.

However, in Korea, it is not possible to expel…
