I'm Sick and I Looked Up More School Shootings

I think I got what my mother had before a few days ago. It started with a little sore throat, then I woke up this morning feeling like crap. My body was achy, my nose was runny/stuffy, my head was pounding, and I felt really dizzy. I didn't have a fever but I felt like absolute crap. I'm just glad that my winter break started early. I fell asleep in my parents' bed while they were in the bed, watching tv. They were watching the aftermath of the Connecticut shooting, and I decided to watch some of it. Later, my parents had breakfast while I skipped out on it. My mother went on my father's laptop and started looking up the Columbine shooting. My mother wants to go see the school; she's interested in true crimes that contain family violence.  I don't blame her, it's actually quite interesting to me too. She was watching the documentary of how the shooting was planned out. The video was about 40 minutes long. I fell asleep during half of it. The first half. I payed attention to the last part and then my mother looked at the Virginia Tech massacre. When I looked up some of the shootings, it had to be with either teens or adults that are just an emotional wreck. Either they have a mental disorder or they were bullied. These people are just messed up that they end up going into a shooting spree. Just like the Aurora shooting, where the guy was a medical school drop out and he just went and shot the people at the Batman premiere that night. The scary thing was we were just at the theater to see Ice Age 4. Next morning, Aurora is all over the news. Whenever something like this happens at a school or somewhere else, my mother gives me extra love and thanks God that we're with her. Here's an important lesson in this: Be nice to the people around you. You never know if they're going to snap one day.
