Recently, a man in a small town near New York shot and killed 20 young children and six adults at a school. That same day, a man in China stabbed many students at a school.

These events are very hard to understand. Many people who were not directly affected by the violence still feel hurt and scared. Schools are supposed to be safe. How could someone do this?

Attacks like these are hard to prevent, and people disagree about what should be done now. Find out how Jason and Vanessa have coped with the violence in this English lesson.

Jason

Vanessa

Jason: You grew up pretty close to where that terrible school shooting happened in Connecticut, right?

Vanessa: Yeah, I grew up in Connecticut, and it was just such a horrifying thing but I think it was especially hard to hear because it hit so close to home for me.

Jason: Yeah, I think it hit close to home for a lot of parents in general because the children were so young.

Vanessa: And then to hear so soon after about the violence that happened at the school in China was doubly heartbreaking.

Jason: I know! That’s so insane that that happened on the same day. I mean, there was the Columbine shooting years ago and it seemed like that was this thing that just couldn’t be topped, it was so horrible. But now it seems like we have a new school shooting all the time, and this one especially really surprised me with just how terrible it was.

Vanessa: It’s almost frightening…It was shocking to hear about, of course, because of the magnitude of the loss of life and also the ages of the people involved, but what I think is most frightening is how commonplace stories like this are becoming.

Jason: Yeah, definitely.

Go Super to Listen

Vanessa grew up near a school where many young children were shot recently. She says the shooting hit home for her because she knows the town where it happened. When she learned that children were attacked in China that same day, it was extra heartbreaking for her.

Both Jason and Vanessa are saddened and horrified by the recent violence in schools. Vanessa says that the worst thing of all may be that this sort of news is becoming commonplace.

How did you feel when you heard about the recent attacks at schools in the US and China? How can we stop these things from happening?

That shooting case is a school violence, like bullying something? man you serious?! School violence is another thing, which didn’t really have much to do with thoes campus cases..

I oppose living with the Violence specially at the school , our children should be safe from any harm thing , the Violence is increasing everywhere specially in the civil countries more than poor countries , we can’t compare the culture when we didn’t have a good evaluation .

In my opinion we should try to find a new ways In order to resolve the problems , we should try to analysis why the Violence only happes in the modern countries , we are talking about the civlization , I disagree with the opinion which says the Violence could be happens only when the extreme culture

This stories…I can’t imagine the parents’ suffering…they were just children, And how can we prevent these kind of tragedy? What happens in the mind of the shooter? how could the people around this crazy person imagine that he can be a killer? Its really hard to imagine. The schools, should be a safe place…we need to think about other options to keep the security in the schools.

Definitely it’s a shocking thing to learn about such accidents at schools where everything has to be completely safe and peaceful for the children and whether the criminal is one of the staff at the school or outside it we have to increase the safety ways more to make sure the kids are completely safe.

I was saddened by these bizarre events. Sad thing is though I live miles and miles away from them yet I feel so affected with this turmoil people have knowing it hit so close to their homes. I was more affected, I am at the least. It’s very depressing..

really is Haram (Forbedden) i feel so so sad when i heard the news; we hope the people stop killling each others in over the world..

Whoever kills the breath or corruption on earth if he has killed all mankind, and revived if he has saved all mankind (Quran verse Almaida 32)

It’s really heartbreaking. I can absolutely understand the families’ pain. I am not a father but I am a teacher. I have young, innocent students. They are so innocent, they all look like angels. It’s terrible for me to know some kids like my students are killed.

I don’t know what to do, I don’t know how to stop this happening. I cannot even understand why someone would kill innocent childreen. Obviously, an insane one but not just insane, extremely wild.

Maybe the solution is only education. Parents and teachers should teach how every living being is so special and magnificent. We should make our kids and students love every living beings so they won’t do this kind of thing when they grow up.

Of course it is horrible to hear of such shooting even if it happened in other far country.Violence hasnt national nuance.It must touch every person in the world if the innocent children died everywhere.I agree that such news becomes commonplace and everybody forgets about it very fast.
