Do you think the public has learned anything from the Columbine shooting? If so, what?

Answer 1

You mean re-learn... that are children are troubled those that are picked on will eventually fight back if not helped. Children or teenagers that are troubled need to be identified and helped, the castoffs, the misfits...it happens in every High-school.

Once they believe that they would rather die than get picked on one more day is too late! It's too late for the students, the teachers, and SWAT...by the time the Police have responded all the killing is usually done.

This may sound like I'm defending the shooter, I'm not once they get to that point there killers and pose a definite threat and will be treated as such, but the problem lies much deeper than kids getting pissed and grabbing guns usually it takes a lot of physical and mental abuse by their classmates before they reach the breaking point.

Answer 2

Yes. In our public schools Teasing kids because they are different should Never be tolerated. Kids who bully them should be severly punished and taught that this behavior may have severe consequences. Teachers, administrators, etc. should all be on the lookout for suspicious behavior and report it at once to parents, etc. Many times parents are so caught up in their busy lives and fail to recognize when their kids are in trouble and find out that something is wrong when it's too late.

Answer 3

No. We still have kids teasing other kids, most likely the weird, quite looking ones. And on top of that, we have the stereotype that us teens just live in a world of self punish and how we cant be trusted because we are young. We're not all like that (such as me lol). But things could be bettered.

Answer 4

i think the public has t learned to never underestimate kids.. thats exactly what they were kids.. the students who did the shooting are responsible for their actions, yes, but at the same time if you feel like you're geting bullied too much if you just get tired of everythin sometimes your mind just snaps..im not justifying what they did, goin on a killin spree is wrng no matter what..but at the same time maybge we need to take another look at our society

Answer 5

Yes, that there are a lot of idiot white boys out there. These spoiled rotten brat kids are just as bad as islamo extremists that want to kill innocent people because they disagree with them. Both types are terrorists, and should be dealt with as such.

Answer 6

Yes, we have learned that people are stupid and would rather blame things like this on a pop star, video game or film than actually tackle things like bullies and guns.

Answer 7

public schools are in the toilets.. teachers are undertrained and over paid.. parent's don't discipline their children enough..

And the most obvious thing learned is........the seperation of church and state is probably the stupidest law ever made....

Answer 8

Yes, don't listen to Marylin Manson...but we don't actualy want to have learned that
