I wouldn't really count that as "affected" if you had to sit in a lockdown for over an hour, compared to having kids shot. :I

"Affected" is that the school isn't doing something it would normally do. I don't see anyone on scratch who was closer to actually living the incident.

Having your school on lockdown is not 'living the incident'
I'd advise you to refrain from complaining that you had to be stuck in (gasp) math class because it makes you appear insensitive regardless of your true feelings or intentions

Ya, I was being insensitive. The principle actually had to apologize to us because the teacher wasn't supposed to tell us. I think he desensitized us because really all any of us were thinking about was the shooting. It got old! I'm like, ya there was a school shooting we don't need to know all the little details. It really really sucks that those kids died, and I think my sub-contiguous kinda blocked it from getting to me. It replaced sadness with anger. All I can say is that it's good that the kids are dead, and not suffering in pain.

You seriously think he's been planning this all his life?

What he was before he did this doesn't matter, he started killing, didn't want to face reality so he shot himself, he didn't say "When I'm older I want to shoot people and commit suicide", it was a one-off thing.

and if i didn't make it 100% clear, i agree with you, it was a one-off thing

This is just my personal opinion, and I'm sure there will be many people who disagree. I think that the actions of this man are horrible, and nothing will ever excuse him of this, and what he did was horrible and terrible, but I think we need to love the sinner and hate the sin. I mean, think about what people must have done to this man to make him this horribly disturbed-I mean, think about it, he must have been hated and rejected-this is just as much the fault of the people around him as it is his. Maybe this man just needed someone to let them know that they cared. This is a particularly horrifying example of what happens when we reject someone, and make them feel like no one cares. We can't let anyone slip through the cracks, we need to make everyone feel loved-if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Make everyone feel loved, and maybe we can stop things like this happening.
Just my opinion. Love everyone, and let them know you care.

We talked about it in school yesterday. Poor little kids... (TT ^ TT)

It's really, really sad. The good thing is, people are working together to prevent anything like this from happening again.

yeah, my language arts teacher was really paranoid about keeping the doors to the classroom locked and checking to see who it was before opening the door today    she even made us do a lockdown drill... I guess it's better to be prepared though...
ANyways, since the kids aren't going to be going back to the same school, people want their new school to be decorated in a winter-y theme for when they go to the school. So in social studies today we got to make snowflakes and send them in so they can be in the classrooms.

Cool!

He killed everyone randomly because of mental illness. Stop saying  "Human beings don't randomly kill people." Now, there is 2 policemen walking around schools to make sure that does not happen again. BTW, what source are you talking about? Dead children?

and who said he had a mental illness? what's your source?

maybe he was very angry or depressed.
maybe he was doing it as a revenge against someone.
maybe he was doing it for the greater good, to strengthen gun control laws.

:I seriously

So he means that he was doing that to strengthen gun control laws? Killing off 20 children to PROMOTE GUN CONTROL LAWS?

So you mean like what ethical hackers do?

If you meant that as a joke, it wasn't funny.

You know whats sad. People are making excuses saying that video games are the reason he went on a school shoot out. Now the government wants to completely BAN every single video game.
