School violence is just getting out of hand these days. There are all theses things going on in our country  about school shootings, people bringing weapons to school, and students getting into fights. For example, there was just recently a shooting at a community college in Oregon and more than ten people were killed. That is a frightening experience. Last year at Franklin Regional High School, there was a student that came to school with a knife and stabbed a few people. It is scary to think that this happens not too far away from us. To think that something like this could happen at our school one of these days is just crazy. There is also in school violence. Bullying is a big issue in many schools across the U.S. Bullying can cause people to lower their confidence, harm themselves, and unfortunately even commit suicide. There were two very recent events where two people in our county to commit suicide because of bullying. It is sad to think and know that sometimes when people go through a lot of bullying one decision they come to is to commit suicide. After all of this, it is just sad, frightening, and scary to think about the past school shootings, stabbings, and bullying that has taken place in our country’s schools.
