I understand how the CPS students feel about their friend’s getting killed. I would go crazy if anything happened to my best friends or family .I think that this all crazy because in the past 2 school years we have had 22 CPS students who got killed. I don’t understand the way things are going because school should be safe, but now it is not safe at all. I know the mother and fathers of these children are losing their mind because they lost a child so young. People should know that no body life is safe in these streets. You don’t even have to be out side to get killed like Starkishia Reed she was at home getting dressed for school and was killed .Sometimes I wish they could have lived to make something of there self and become one of the doctors and nurses we have and need today. It’s bad that so many young people are dying because they are in the right place at the wrong time. M any just get killed because they are in a gang and want to get out but can not. I am so glad that we have the Chicago police out side when school lets out. We feel a little safer because we know that they are out side for us. M any people say why is blacks always killing each other ,but other should understand that we are not the only one do the killing .I don’t understand why we all just can’t get along and help one another to succeed in life.
