Introduction
On April 20,1998 in Littleton Colorado two armed students killed several
other innocent students and a teacher.
This incident at Columbine High School has shocked America and raised
the questions why would someone due such act.
What can we do as nation to protect students and to make school safe.
Here's a Map to show you what actually happened at Columbine High School.
Legislators and Citizens
-Reward and respect jobs such as teaching and parenting in society.
-Increase fundraisers so that the school can hire more counselors.
-Reduce the pressure on students while taking test, having someone
to talk to.
Teachers

Conclusion
Through this web page I hope you were able to see what society faces
when issues like this occur. We as a nation need to
come together so incidents like Columbine can be prevented. Parents
can contribute when seeing their kid having some difficulty talk to them
so they can express their feelings. Teachers have communication with students
so that if faced with a emotional problem they relate with teacher. If
students are going through any problems talked to someone instead of holding
inside.When holding emotions inside starts effect one's mental state.
