Students should not be scared to go to school , we no longer have the “I feel sick” excuse .. but we have a “I don’t want to die today” excuse . This should not be our reality but it is & we have to take the next step if the higher power doesn’t . In 2018 there have been more student deaths than there have been soldiers dying in our war . I petition for parents to not register students for the upcoming school year , opt for homeschooling or online schooling .. because losing a prom is better than losing your life .
