I’m putting the links below so you can
read what incidence I’m referring to and I want to thank Ms. Sally Ericson for
putting this information in her blog.
Here is the first link from Ms. Ericson’s blog, please go and read it
because it’s a big problem now: http://blog.al.com/live/2013/09/fights_facebook_threats_lead_t.html.
When I was a little girl, I fought to
settle disputes or to defend my friends and I didn’t care who I fought but it
was always with my fist and never with a weapon. It wasn’t right and I knew it but after I
fought that person everything went back to normal. Young adults are doing the same thing but not
to settle a dispute, no to become famous on Facebook or YouTube.
These fights may be a small problem right
now but they’re leading to a huge problem for schools if they can’t find a
viable solution, because negative attention is better than no attention at all. It’s my opinion that the Schools are not handling
this problem appropriately. It doesn’t
make since to me to put these young adults in jail; how’s that going to fix the
problem? It’s a band aide solution
because we don’t know what’s causing the bleeding.
The Schools and the Police Department have
just made these young adults criminals and they have nothing else to
loose. What the schools are doing is not
fixing the problem but making the situation worst because now these young
adults have criminal records; when what they need is counseling (give them
someone to talk to about their anger), discipline (put them in sports to help
with the aggression), and positive feedback (help to build their
self-confidence and self-esteem). Some
of these kids just need to know that somebody believes in them. Instead of treating them like criminals and
sticking a band aide on the problem; let’s get to the root of things and find
out why this problem is happening in our schools.
Here’s another link from Ms. Sally Ericson
http://blog.al.com/live/2013/09/officers_patrol_williamson_the.html and I found these by doing a simple search on
www.break.com and Youtube.com:

The
sad thing is, I can go on and on with these links. Please America, wake up we need to fix this
problem now before more lives are lost or ruined.
I’m Lady PJ and information is power. This blog is my opinion and I would love to
know what you think about it and if you have a viable solution for these
schools please leave a comment. Much
love to you all and have a blessed day.
