What Can We Do To Stop School Shootings?
Nowadays, there are more and more school shootings happen
over the U.S. which is becoming a biggest concerns for people to send their
kids to school. School is supposed to be a safe place for kids to grow and
learn without worrying about anything. Now, they have to look over their
shoulders because they know things can happen to them. Especially for those kids that have to go to
school where the shooting took place, it is even harder and scarier for them to
go back there and remember the tragic incident that took their friends’ lives
away from them.
As students returned to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
today for the first time after the mass school students, they all had mix feelings
about what had happened (according to ABC News). Well, they should be. They
were too young to witness and become victims of that tragic event. But these young and bright kids are so brave that they
are willing to face the problem and fix it. So, how about us – grown-up parents
and adults? What can we do to stop school shooting?
First, we need to look at the way that we educate and raise
our children. Is there anything that we’re doing wrong? If yes, fix it as soon
as possible. Moreover, always let our kids know that we love them and we will
be there with them no matter what happens. They need to know that they can depends
and feel comfortable coming to us whenever they have problems. Discuss how to
fix their problem with them and encourage them to always do right things. Second,
we need to work with government to increase security at school or any public
spaces. Increasing more police patrol around school campus will make the kids
feel more at ease. We can also do neighborhood watch to make sure it’s safe. Also,
we can install any gun, knifes, or metal weapons detector at around school and
other public place to make sure that no one carries them around. Last, we need
to have stronger and stricter gun law. People who want to own
guns need to do a complete and detailed background check and mental tests
regularly to make sure they are able to control when to use the gun. People
with mentality issue or coming from a background where family members have
history of mental illness should not own a gun.
Whichever ways you choose to stop school shootings, make
sure you meant it and do it from your heart. It’s not only your kids’ safety
but yours as well. Be educated and think twice before doing anything!
