Something Has to Be Done \u2013 Not Tomorrow, Today!<\/h1>\n

\"Bullying\"<\/a>For those who own a short attention span: Here\u2019s is the summary of this blog post: Normal Kid<\/strong> -> Bullying<\/strong> -> Mental Illness<\/strong> -> Guns<\/strong> -> School Shooting<\/strong>. That\u2019s the real short story. I really hope that you are willing to read more.<\/p>\n

Each passing day there are students raising another school shooter, a monster. You can also blame the government for that. We are always looking the reason from others. Yes, Government has to participate. Access to guns is way too easy. I\u2019m against gun violence. Actually I\u2019m against all violence. I agree 110%, guns should be banned. Sooner, the better. I\u2019m not stripping down the guns from everyone (police, military, hunters do need a gun). It just time to make some goddamn sense!<\/p>\n

Guns has been glorified in movies, books, music\u2026But that just ain\u2019t real life. It\u2019s time to wake up for the reality. This is the sad reality:<\/p>\n

Gun Accidents Kill at Least 1 Kid Every Other Day<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How can someone be safe around with guns? Behind the screen there are people who own a gun or two and says they will keep their guns safe, and this doesn\u2019t happen in their household. I\u2019m sure every family whom had lost their child due a horrible incident, said exactly the same thing. Each gun accident story is so heartbreaking. I simply can\u2019t read them anymore.<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t sleep, if there would be guns in our household. No matter how safe those would have been locked. Locking guns might give some people false security feeling. If just that one time, they\u2019ll forget to lock the door\u2026 You can\u2019t keep the key with you in your house. You just can\u2019t. It\u2019s not safe. What is locked, is even more tempting for younger children. It\u2019s been always like that, and always will be. Owning a gun, because you can, can\u2019t be the reason of having one. That\u2019s not common-sense, that is just nonsense. I could own various objects that can be used to hurt people, but I don\u2019t own them, just because I can. It’s also the example we set to our kids.<\/p>\n

Banning Guns Doesn\u2019t Fix the Real Issues<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You can ban guns and the formula changes: Normal Kid -> Bullying -> Mental Illness -> Act of violence (other than guns). Surface might be clean after banning the guns, but it doesn\u2019t solve the real issues.<\/p>\n

What is the real issue? Bullying. I have started to hate that word, as it\u2019s not strong enough. No, kids shouldn\u2019t grow a tougher skin, or start solving those situations with violence. Bullying is not child\u2019s play. If you haven\u2019t experienced heavy bullying. You can\u2019t understand what is a \u201cnormal\u201d school day for the bullied. I was a normal kid, before the high school started. Not a day goes by, even 20 years later without wishing I still would be the same guy that I was, before the high school started. I want to be that relaxed, optimistic, eager to learn new things and positive about the future. Instead of being insecure, privacy first, scared to go to new places, afraid of crowds\u2026among other things.<\/p>\n

Bullying turned me mentally ill. I\u2019ve been depressed for over 20 years. There is nothing in this world that can fix me. Only reason I\u2019m among the living is the reason that I have learned to accept that. When the bullying finally ended, I didn\u2019t know it was just the beginning. 20 years later I\u2019m ready to do whatever I can do share what bullying can do.<\/p>\n

World shouldn\u2019t be about the survival of the fittest. Everyone should enjoy their life on earth. Kids can\u2019t choose their environment.  What we can do, is to help each other along the way. After so many school shootings, we should know this better. Bullying is a real disease, and it\u2019s spreading. When someone attacks school with an assault riffle, that alone should tell that bullying is not child\u2019s play anymore. Banning guns is just a first aid to deeper wounds.<\/p>\n

In Finland we have a very strict gun laws, yet there have been three school shootings (and one bombing in shopping center), and each time, the killer had been badly bullied. Bullying is a real disease in Finland too. That\u2019s why I\u2019m writing this. If the population in Finland would be same as in the USA. Our school shooting amount would be 230<\/strong>. You\u2019ll have to remember that we have a very strict gun laws compared to the US. Preventing bullying, that\u2019s the only way to go.<\/p>\n

How can we fix this?<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We are always looking for easy solutions. Nothing comes easy. Everyone has to participate. This starts from parenting and also schools should add classes that focuses on anti-bullying, well-being and wellness. We are living in a world filled with contraptions, we don\u2019t have a boring moment in our life. Slowing down, listening and caring. That\u2019s what we need to learn again. That is the reason why we miss the \u201cgood old days\u201d. Kids or their parents back in the day didn\u2019t fill their day with violence. Some people claim that video games and movies doesn\u2019t cause violence. Maybe not, but I\u2019m sure it doesn\u2019t too good either. Not with underage kids. It\u2019s scary to hear a seven year old to yelling \u201chead shot\u201d during recess time. If that doesn\u2019t tell that something is clearly wrong, I don\u2019t know what does. Do your part and stop bullying, and teach others not to bully.<\/p>\n

Breath, read, think\u2026repeat. #CommonSense<\/p>\n
