There is an elephant in the room....
Curt came up this weekend; didnt do much but we did sit and watch a movie called 'elephant'
Anyone heard of it?
If not, the basic storyline is: school shooting.
I had mix feelings about the film. It really got me thinking about school shootings. Before this movie; my feelings on school shooting was simply this:
It is a very tragic thing that has happen, and I do feel sorry for the people who were killed or the people who were at a loss, but you must understand, those kids were driven to it. They felt that they had nowhere else to go. I don’t know if they tried talking to someone about how they were being treated, but nonetheless, they couldn’t handle it anymore, they couldn’t deal with the way they were being treated. So they acted out in the only way they knew, and unfortunately, that way was violence. I also feel very sorry for them as well. My heart breaks for them. I’m sure most of you were picked on in school. Came home crying? I did. I did a lot. I don’t know why I was targeted when I was younger (mostly in elementary and middle… and frosh year of high school) but I was a target of teasing. I would never have gone to where the columbine boys went; but I did want something terrible to happen to the people that made me feel the way that I did. I know how these kids felt, maybe not as severely but they were in pain.
My thoughts now?
The same. All the same. It is a terrible thing that happen, but you know what? It was because of those kids at school that had nothing better to do then to pick on these kids that already had low self esteem.
I don’t know. I had this whole idea of what I wanted to say but I am to tired to explain it. Soo, I hope you get what I'm Trying to say here.
Just… try to be decent to the your fellow man and I go back to a phrase that we should still live by. ‘treat others how you want to be treated’
