Grow up America... I have a hard time trying to figure out what to think of yet another student killing in our schools. Anger - I am MAD because I feel the American Family is just a bunch of wanna be parents not instilling the moral standards into their children. Sad - I am SAD because time and time again we keep seeing our youth fail to value their brothers and sisters under God. Sick - I am SICKENED by the fact that someone can walk up to another person, punch them, then cut them with a knife, toss their body into a trash can, and make the effort to drag that can to the woods. If they had that much energy and determination to kill, imagine what they could have done with a little math skills, love, and guidance. Hurt - I am HURT by the fact that we as a country are not acting as an example of how to live as a family.
