One girl who was in a very exclusive school in a quiet neighborhood heard a boy bragging about his gun. When she told the principal, the gun was found and the boy was suspended.

What We Can Say to Our Children About What Happens to Our Minds in an EmergencyWe can tell our children that any time we have an emergency--like a car wreck, an earthquake, a flood, a tornado, or somebody being dangerous-- our first feeling will most likely be disbelief. violence in schools Self defense woman. We will probably think, "It's not true. It's impossible! This can't be!" The sooner we can get over our disbelief and see what is actually happening, the sooner we can start to protect ourselves. Next, we will probably feel full of energy, which comes from a chemical our bodies make called adrenaline. This much energy gives us lots of power, but can make it hard to think clearly. Our bodies might go into a panic and want to run or freeze or start fighting, whether it makes sense or not. If we practice the best way to handle different emergencies, we won't have to think because our bodies will just know what to do. Doing role plays about emergencies can also help us to practice thinking clearly even when we feel full of energy from adrenaline. What We Can Say to Our Children About Kids Having Weapons At SchoolWe can tell our children that sometimes kids like to joke or brag about having or using guns or bombs or about hurting animals or people. Most of the time, they are just pretending, but once in a while, they are not. If someone is talking like this, this person might have big problems. Young people need to know how to get away from anyone who makes them uncomfortable without saying what they think.
