Guns Gone Wild
As India Gets Rich, They Trade Guns

As eight year olds throw punches in America, Indian teenagers in New Delhi gun down their friends over small arguments. As girls argue in public hallways, bullets are shot in stairwells.  As of right now, school gunplay is not common but it is most definitely a developing obsession. More and more people try to get legal guns and people are promoting a rule like the National Riffle Association. As we hope that child arguments in schools occur less frequently, we must put things in perspective because there are mothers who pray everyday that their child will not be shot on their way to class.

New Documentary
New York Times

Many students face traumatic breakdowns, loads of paperwork, and excessive work loads, therefore, a new documentary "Race to Nowhere." will be filmed about the pressure put on student teens. It will be about the classes, athletic accomplishments, and extra-curricular activities that are forced upon teens in order to build up their résumés towards being accepted into better colleges. However, sometimes this is not for the better. This movie will introduce an idea that "One thing is clear: We can’t be content with just giving kids “coping strategies” that leave the structural problems intact; we have to change the structures themselves."

Birthday Brawl
The Bergen Record
In Paterson New JErsey, at the Hookah Lounge, a birthday party was disrupted by a brawl. This argument left the "smoking lounge trashed and two men in the hospital with stab wounds." The stabbers have not been determined, and apparently the people had thrown tables and chairs through the front windows as the managers tried to get patrons out the back door. The accused victims have not been questioned, as they are not physically ready, however, anyone with information about the incident should call Detective Todd Pearl at (973) 321 1120.
