GO TO MY INSTAGRAM PAGE IF YOU WANT TO HEAR SOME OF MY THOUGHTS TO HELP - @LORICALBERT - LOOK FOR THE PICTURES WITH CAMERA ICONS ON THEM
ON MY INSTAGRAM PAGE, @LORICALBERT, I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT MY CONCERNS ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE IN SCHOOLS. I HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING HOW WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT BOTH SIDES OF THIS ARGUMENT WHEN IT COMES TO LAWS FOR GUNS AND THEN LAWS FOR EXTREMELY VIOLENT AND MENTALLY UNSTABLE PEOPLE.
I THINK ONE PROBLEM IS THAT WE ARE FORGETTING THE LATTER PART AND HOW WE NEED TO BE MORE COMPASSIONATE/VIGILANT WITH PEOPLE IN ORDER FOR THEM NOT TO FEEL THAT ONE RECOURSE THEY HAVE FOR AVENGING THEIR PERCEIVED MISTREATMENT IS SCHOOL VIOLENCE.
SO MANY TEENS ARE BEING AFFECTED BY GUN VIOLENCE. IN AN ARTICLE I READ, I THINK IT SAID 2 DOZEN YOUNG PEOPLE A DAY ARE BEING HURT THROUGH GUN VIOLENCE.
WE NEED TO FIND A WAY TO GET EVERYONE ON BOARD WHO COMES IN CONTACT WITH TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS: COUNSELORS, TEACHERS, PARENTS, LAW ENFORCEMENT/SECURITY GUARDS, ETC. ALL OF US NEED TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT OF LOVE, TOLERANCE, TRUST, AND VIGILANCE.
WE NEED TO FORM A PLACE ONLINE, BY PHONE, OR IN REALITY FOR PEOPLE TO GO WHEN THEY HAVE CONFUSED IDEAS ABOUT HOW TO COPE AND ARE THINKING ABOUT THIS TYPE OF ALTERNATIVE TO SOMEHOW "HELP" THEIR PAIN AND SORROW. MAYBE IF MORE COULD REACH OUT AND TALK WITHOUT THE JUDGMENT, THEY AND/OR THEIR FAMILIES COULD GET THE HELP THEY NEED AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT DOING IT.
THESE ARE IDEAS, BUT PLEASE SHARE WHAT YOU THINK.
