How people wake up so early just to shoot someone and throw their whole life away it ain’t even lunchtime yet
@Vinsmoke190 Beef
My daughter is in MLK and that’s one of her friends. I pray he pulls through this. It’s so sad that kids want to hurt eachother like this.
@EmyV37 Sorry to hear! Sending prayers to him, his family, your daughter, and his whole community.
People are clueless generally. The outside world has more influence over young adults after a certain age and parents lose influence after a certain age. Movies, news media, music, social media, adult society, etc, has farrrr more influence than a hardworking parent. The education is lackluster so even some parents are not educated well enough. This is what you get for insisting that we have a peasant/lower class until eternity. Every single keyboard disciplinarian is also ignorant and uneducated. Because if you decide to "parent" someone's kid from a social media app, how foolish and lazy are you?
Since covid 19 the WORLD has change, mostly everyone is out there getting clicks from social media and from every where they could get their hands on...Sad but true. ( My opinion).
shelter in right before my lunch period is crazy
