This is similar towards Matt’s situation because he was accused for bombing the school and many kids would torture him. How does trying to commit suicide affect Matt’s identity? It affects Matt’s identity because he thinks committing suicide will solve all his problems and people would just leave him alone and forget him because he is dead. How dose committing suicides define Matt’s character? It defines him because he was always bullied at school ever since the incident happen
Kiss my fucking ass Tragedies that happen at most school even universities, have done with students committing suicide and student shootings. Many people and reporters always diagnosed these students with either a psychiatric problem or some other disorder the child has had while growing up. They really don’t get the real story of what really influenced these people to do what they did and did they try to show signs that they needed help. People already think that they solved and investigated the problem of the V-tech shooting. They already think that the man Chos was on antidepressants and was seeking psychiatric help.
Hawthorne makes it seem that he enjoys having power over others. It seems almost as if he becomes a high school bully who makes everyone’s lives miserable. He shows off this “power” over Hester when he tells her to keep quiet about their relationship status by saying, “My finger…would have hurled [Dimmesdale]…to the gallows!"(123). This threat is true however, because Chillingworth did have a large portion of control over Dimmesdale’s life. His willingness to slaughter the man for so weak a reason is frightening though.
Bowling for Columbine Introduction In ‘’Bowling for Columbine’’, Michael Moore takes a look at some of the many social issues that plague America these days. For me, this documentary is an ethnographic film. It focuses on American people but also outlines their lifestyle and their customs. Moore starts his documentary by briefly talking about the Columbine High School shooting and then moves on to discuss potential causes for this act of war when two students aggressively started to randomly shoot their peers in the once protected school surrounding. In the documentary, Michael Moore claims that catalyzed fears for good or wrong reasons lead people to violence.
Violent Adolescents Annette Fuentes writes an interesting article called Crackdown on Kids. Fuentes wrote this article for the June 15/22 issue of The Nation. This article is about how we have neglected to see the real problem at hand with juvenile delinquents and how quick we as a society are to just throw them in detention facilities rather than solve the problems in a more effective manner. Fuentes wrote this article in response to the shooting sprees at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. On March 24, 1998, three boys, ages 11, 13, and 15, unloaded a slew of mini arsenals and were responsible for the deaths of four students and a teacher.
Students believe that high schools shooting are most cause of being pick on or being mistreated. The most commonly referred to school shooting is that at Columbine High School, in Littleton, Colorado, on Tuesday, April 20, 1999. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were the perpetrators. Like many instances of "school shootings," Harris and Klebold took their own lives before the end of the event. Also similar to many school shooters, Harris and Klebold were found to be victims of bullying.
Columbine Massacre Criminology March 12, 2009 On April 20, 1999 in Littleton, Colorado two students Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris committed what is thought to be one of the worse school massacres to ever happen. To this day law enforcement officials as well as others continue looking for just cause as to why these boys would commit such acts, and in the end take their own lives. The massacre that was committed by Dylan and Eric was not only criminal, but deviant as well. Criminal acts are those violating the law, which Eric and Dylan did on numerous levels during this massacre. They had possession of illegal firearms which included a Intratec TEC-DC9, a Hi-Point 995 Carbine, Savage 67H pump action shotgun, and a Stevens 311D double
A little seven year old was only drawing the other day in class. Unfortunately he drew a gun, and ended up being suspended from school. It happened in a town up in New Jersey, which also had four kindergarteners sent home because of playing “cops and robbers.” These incidents show that something has to be changed, because are these kids the true cold blooded killers? The article was not biased; it only gave facts that needed to be known by the American public. This article opens my eyes and shows me that America may be going in the wrong direction to stop gun control.
One thing that I have read in the Daily News was that school shootings are the number one cause of student deaths in the United States and this is very sad. Another statement in the Daily News that caught my attention was that the number one cause of school shootings was bullying and pair pressure. When kids are bullied , they
With this extensive history of gun related tragedy, and a gun favoring majority population, Colorado has become a testing ground for new laws on gun control. Source A concludes by saying “ ‘It’s different now because children are being butchered in schools,’ said Dave Hoover, a police officer in Lakewood, Colo., whose nephew A.J. Boik was one of the 12 people killed in Aurora. ‘Because kids were killed at a movie. Because families went to church and were gunned down.’ ”(Source A).
