Gotta love activist high school students. A Fontana California high school's students and faculty members have had it with the escalating trend of school-related violence over the past several years, and have decided to do something about it. They've declared November 13-18th "Anti-Violence Week" at A.B. Miller high school. As part of the festivities, students tied ribbons on the school fence spelling out, "Life is Not a Video Game."
I personally would have gone with "Parenting is Not a Hobby," but that's just me.
"We're trying to get the message out to people: Once you shoot someone, that's it. You can't go back in time and undo it," said Jacklyne Aceves, one of the Miller drama students.
Shouldn't kids who have reached high school be aware of this? It must be those damn video games!
Monday was "Dead Day", where popular kids dressed all in black and didn't speak to anyone, which sounds just like the table I sat at for lunch in High School, only with less Cure t-shirts.
