What’s wrong with these American high school youths! Graph of suicide cases are mounting each day.
A 17-year-old youth shot himself in the head after killing his ex-girlfriend in central Michigan high school. In a similar other incident, a 16-year-old boy shot himself at his high school in Texas and later died at a hospital.
I have been thinking lately, what could lead these kids to shoot some one just like that. Although there are instances when a boy kills his ex-girl friend because of unrequited love while in others, probably it’s because of drugs, for taking such an extreme step.
The government seems to take these events, as a reason to tighten security in schools, shopping malls and on the roads, but that clearly seems to be addressing a symptom, instead of solving the problem.
The influence of the pharmaceutical companies in this country is too overwhelming, the legalized drug pushing is occurring right in living rooms and fortunes are being made at the top of the pile but at the bottom, folks are killing each other.
Bottom line
Despite the prevalence of firearms in their own and other families’ homes, America’s parents fail to recognize the immediate danger guns pose to their children and are not taking steps to ensure their children’ safety.
Indeed, these make clear the challenge that remains to translate parents’ abstract concern about guns and youth into a personal consciousness and to inform parents of what they can and should do to better protect their children from the threat that lies in their own homes and those of their children’s friends and neighbors.
