Violence everywhere
Quote From: rebeccatol I have a 6 year old in the first grade and next year I will be enrolling my daughter in Kindergarten. When I turn on the news and hear about shooting at schools it does scare me. I fear for my children's safety every moment I am not with them. Its crazy to think that the place I send my child to learn, the place that he is supposed to be safe for 8 hours a day is the one place that I end up fearing the most! You don't know that some student is not going to show up and be mad at a teacher for giving them a failing grade, or mad that his girlfriend dumped him.. or what ever reason they think is logical. My heart goes out to the families effected by the recent shooting in PA. I live in South Africa(which has the most crime in the world). Here every second of your life is precious as people constantly get murdered, raped, hi-jacked & robbed. Murderers(IF they ever get caught) are set free in 3days. We have no justice system & nothing ever gets done. Out of the hundreds of people I know, not one can say one of the above has not happened to them. It frustrates me to read that American's are so upset about these school shootings when we are sitting here in south africa praying every moment to be safe. I hope this atleast makes more people overseas aware of how we live & appreciate how good they have it.
