sound similar she studied in a form which she was 15 mark why she was a very resolute girl she had big plans for the future to finish the 9th form and get an education and i. thought nose on the day school stuff that only could to protect the pupil he's risking on some losing their own lives in the process he would be the only one asking questions though could more have been done to prevent this tragedy and how could it be stopped from happening again. we should probably strengthen the school security as now we have mainly elder people working there also we should organize drills like the ones for fire safety and explain to children where they should go and hide if such tragedies happen to the bloodbath in school 175 how to clear a villain but also some on likely heroes the son of the local imaam escaped the killer who broke right into his classroom only to run back into danger to rescue

. or we discussed with her guess some of the many issues this type of tragedy has once again raised. our society not able to scream this before we've got many administrations a situation schools how come a profile like this one went through all of that and nobody saw that he was on the brink of committing this massive massive killings i think that's the serious issue today that all of our societies have to tackle is to pinpoint find his presence and he'll go on an awful lot of people with mental illness upon film or not the role they have extreme views and if you give these people guns you got to expect at some stage of things are going to go wrong so you you know the less comes in society that the safer we all are it is no secret that you go on the internet you can find out what to do and how to do it and this is a this is a problem for all societies bulling reno at least in the research that i've conducted here is the leading cause of gun violence in schools so bullying revenge retaliation and side effects of psychotropic medications have been found to be the
6:28 pm
predominant causes of violence one of the most important thing is that we need to do is we really have to work to passionately create a very safe school climate working together collaboratively with parents were teachers with administrators to really identify those students who may be withdrawn who maybe why if you may have struggled for every recent loss who may be a victim of bullying you may be struggling academically or they have behavioral issues and the more that people can come together and identify the work that we can be proactive rather than reactive. more of the stories that shape the week when we return at the top of the art live from moscow this is r.t. international serious of.
