I’m not a fan of the media posting pictures that inflame the situation. Kids carry knives mostly because they are afraid that other kids are carrying knives. The same can be said for the increase in size of the knife.
Most are just scared little kids, full of fluctuating testosterone.
My hope is that parents are more readily spot checking up on what their own children are up to. None of us want to think that it would be one of our kids, yet many of us trod a risky line to one extent or another at some point in our youth.
Kids get excited by danger in what is typically a dull world full of trigonometry and social anxiety.
I feel so sorry for kids these days.
At least we were luck enough to only use our fists; none of us will remember now what any of those arguments were even about.
