Mother Knows Best

We all know the epic fight that ensues between us and our parents. We all know how angry we can get when they don't understand us, and how angry they can get when we don't obey them. The parent-teenager relationship is never an easy one, but never, would I imagine my own mother to shoot me dead.

Today in Port St. John, Florida, a mother shot and killed her four children before killing herself. Police are still investigating why she did it, but its apparent that there were some troubles at home. Its sad to think that the matriarchal figure of a family could snap and kill everyone..just like that. Sure were annoying, and we sometimes disobey our parent's request but NO ONE deserves to get shot. My own mother wouldn't even shot me, and considering what she has to put up with, its amazing I'm still alive.

If anything this event can teach us that although we don't understand where our parents are coming from nor do they understand where we're coming from, we can all work together to fix the situation. No matter how annoying a teenager can seem, there is no reason to shoot them!

Florida Mother Kills Children

  1. That is crazy that a mother would kill her own children. It's disgusting to think that there are people like that in the world. No matter what troubles were going on at home, murdering her children are not the answer.
