ok..so i was at school late today and one of my friends came up to me asking if i had seen the news....i said no and she told me that this kid that ive known for a while and this other kid put a video on you tube and myspace...it was like some rap video thing...and the video made references to columbine and made statements of having a school shooting!!

this is the SECOND threat that we have had at my school and with all the stuff going on lately with shootings this is really scary.....jeesh why do people have to be so freaking STUPID!!

Why the fuck are you all making such a big goddamn deal about this? Oh no, someone mentioned columbine! Oh no, someone said the words "school shooting"! Until it actually happens, stfu. This is fucking nothing. Try going to a school where violence is a regular fucking thing, then you'll have some right to complain. Right now it just sounds like you're being all freaked out about fucking nothing. If this is the worst thing going on at your school then you should be thankful and stop bitching.

Adults are sometimes (or often) unable to see what really happens to children, teenagers and younger adults.
We (I'm feeling that I'm on my way to become a real adult so I say this to myself too) become somewhere in our lives unable to see where children, teenagers and younger adults have to struggle with.
Why?
Growing up is something very painful, and ones you think that you have grown up you want to leave the pain behind and forget it.
We just don't want to remember it.
But that's in fact not fair to people younger than us, with our memories and with our understanding of it we can maybe help young people.
But at least we, adults, (or people who see themselves as adults) should take the responsability to keep in touch with the younger people.

But we refuse to be confronted with the younger versions of ourselves because it hurts sometimes.
So we deny the young and small part of ourselves, blame the young people for making trouble, the young people get frustrated (of course!) and everything gets worse and worse.

The young people rapping and referring to Columbine are actually begging:
Help us!!!!!!!!!!
We have a hard time in our lifes!!!!!!!!!!
If nobody helps us then it will get out of hand!!!!!!!!!!
And then we have to deal with a new tragedy, which is the same as Columbine.
I hope that an adult who knows this teenagers sees this video and really listens to the rap and takes this seriously.
And that this adult is prepared and smart and patient enough to help this teenagers.
And that he or she is going to do that.

Because: when the shooting happens, you are far too late.
That's all I can say.

By the way: sorry for treating you wrong all the time.
You confronted me with the "younger me", and that was hard for me.
That made that I was trying too hard to help you, I don't want nobody to suffer like I did or even worse, but I did not see what was going on with you.
But I'm prepared to learn.

I hope that Live comes up with a song (or has already a song for you which you maybe already know), which can help you, and that you can listen to it and that it helps you to heal your wounds.

Good luck!
