So I was reading this article on that sophmore that held his class hostage for six hours and found even more questions in my head. Ones that i am sure everyone was wondering. What was going through his head that made him do this? Was he picked on or popular in his own group? Did anyone in that class try to talk him out of shooting himself? What was causing him so much pain that he thought this was the only way people would listen? Did he try to send messages to let people know he was hurting? It just shocks me that someone can feel that is there only option. Did he try writing it out? Just thinking that this could happen to anyone makes me wounder why no one just comes out and asks someone they trust for help. Maybe it's because we are scared to, we think that no one will understand. I wish people could remember that there is always someone who gets it and is willing to listen. However i don't think that this is a reasonable request because we always are taught to hide our feelings and to be strong.
