I have a terrible (but survive-worthy) habit of being self-effacing. It helps, it makes daily life flow a lot easier and bad memories tend to go on their fleeting path. But the truth is whenever I see something in the news about a school shooting or bullying, it’s painful in so may ways.
The latest tragedy in Ohio is just another reminder to me about how it seems kids (teens/tweens) succumb to a nasty/painful feeling of isolation, of hopelessness. I could in no way ever understand that feeling of utter desperation–the one where you may resort to violence–to attack a fellow human being. That is something I will never comprehend.
