Wow, 9th graders even!! This is WC ppl, who’d ever think this would happen there? Well, stop giving kids reasons to harm themselves or each other!! White privilege prevails there & ppl are so wrapped up in their own lives, no one pays attention to what’s happening with our youth!! Take away their internet till they’re 18!! They have way too much dependence on it & it’s ruining the social landscape of being kids!! But sure keeping buying them cars, allowances that could feed small towns & no parental interference!! We are failing kids all over this country!! Add mental health & you have the makings of out of control kids!! J/s
