what are the long term effects of columbine shootings on society?
474561
A lack of trust between those who should have trust (e.g. teachers and students). On the other hand, increased responsiveness by counselors and administrators to the socially disenfranchised and to threats to school communities.

Below is the source for a fact sheet that talks about that.  Effect depends on the age of student and what is being watched.  Check it out!  Good luck.

The impact would be huge and spread far beyond 100s of thousands of people just being sick and/or dying.\nIn attempts to stop the spread of the flu, schools and businesses would close as people began to stay home in attempts to isolate themselves and not get sick. That means no production, no shopping and no spending and the economy takes a big hit.\nAnd with many people staying in and businesses closed, you can count on a certain part of the population trying to take advantage and risking illness to loot, leading to massive insurance claims by businesses and shortages of key items as people begin to emerge from their exiles (be they self-imposed or government imposed).\nAll-in-all, it will be one big mess.

Pros:  \nYou get much more freedom than middle school.\nYou have a lot more friends to choose from.\nYou have a lot more activities to choose from.\nYou'll get to pick some of your classes.\nKids aren't as mean as they are in middle school.\n\nCons:\nYou won't realize that high school is just a very small, itty-bitty, teeny weeny part of your life until long after you've graduated.  So everything that happens to you will seem like the biggest deal in the world.  (But I guess everything in life is like this!)

Gun registration and confiscation, re-education camps, seizure of private property, redistribution of wealth, abolition of religion, possibly mass executions.\n\nOr maybe they'll just raise taxes.

Too many people today feel they have had to resort to either keeping a firearm in their home, on them personally or in their cars for fear they cannot protect themselves any other way.  It is sad because all too often innocent people are fatally wounded, children included.  And even sadder is that children are now the ones shooting up the schools.\n\nUnless you were to take away all the weapons and make man stand up for himself on his own merit without the use of weapons gun violence will always be a factor in our society.  Were adults not warned to keep their firearms in a safe, locked manner not accessible to children?  It didn't help because people think it won't happen to them...and it does.\n\nGuns are as common in Tx here as are cattle and oil and believe me, unless society itself makes the changes as a whole and communities band together once again as they once did...we are fighting a losing battle and that is such a shame!

I don't think anybody learns anything in high school anymore. It's not really there to educate nowadays; it's just a system set in place to keep teenage kids from wandering the streets during the day - the government's way to try to cut down on vandalism and crime.

Click on the link below. The NCJRS is an excellent reference to school safety issues. There are several links on the below site which will help you in locating your information. I was a school resource officer for several years and I can tell you that if your district employs them, they are a great source of information for you. In addition, your school district keeps stats on certain crimes within the schools. Give them a call. In reference to Columbine, the SRO was not on campus at the time the shooting first started; however, he was able to engage the shooters shortly after they entered the building. If he had not been there, there is a good chance that the carnage would have been much worse.

Eighteen year old Eric Harris, who with his friend Dylan Klebold, 17, massacred their classmates and a teacher at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado on April 20, 1999 had been taking Luvox. T. J. Solomon, 15, who shot and wounded six fellow students at Heritage High School in Conyers, Georgia on May 20, 1999 was on Ritalin. Fifteen year old Shawn Cooper, who fired two shotgun rounds, narrowly missing classmates at his high school in Notus, Idaho was on Ritalin. Fifteen year old Kip Kinkell who first murdered his parents and later killed two students and wounded 22 more in his Oregon school's cafeteria was on Ritalin and Prozac.   I'm not surprised these facts never made the news!\n\nPutting kids on drugs is one of the most heinous manipulations by the pharmaceutical industry this decade!  Did you know that there isn't really a way to test for ADD or ADHD?  What most parents don't seem to realize is that Ritalin is a narcotic, a potentially addictive one at that.   The practice has reached virtual epidemic proportions with an estimated 5 million children being subjected to drugs such as methylphenidate (Ritalin) and amphetamines (Dexedrine, Adderall).  \n\nThe Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Revised Edition published by the American Psychiatric Association, originally warned of the dangers of administering Ritalin to children - but that this information mysteriously disappeared from the most recent edition, thus supporting suspicions that the industry is engaged in a cover-up. \n\nRitalin and other such stimulants suppress growth of all organs of the body by disrupting growth-hormone cycles - an effect that is likely to have long-lasting detrimental effects to the health of the child. Animal studies show that amphetamines such as Adderall and Dexedrine cause brain-cell death - and that Ritalin causes permanent brain dysfunction if administered at regular clinical doses. Some children develop tics - which in some cases become permanent. Some children develop severe mental disorders such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorders - as well as manic and schizophrenic-like behavior.  As if this weren't bad enough, Ritalin, Adderall, and all such stimulants cause cardiovascular problems by disrupting the rhythm of the heart, and on occasion can (and have) lead to cardiac arrest. \n\nNeed I say more?

The source is the family. It's where it all starts, it's where we get our values and principles and where we are shaped into the person we will become. It all depends on our upbringing.\nOh, and capital punishment is useless. It has been scientifically proved. Violence only generates more violence.
