This Saturday is the anniversary of the tragedy at Sandy Hook. I just want to say that this is such a horrible event, and i will have everyone who died in my heart and prayers. I recently met a girl, whose cousin, Caroline was shot seven times. It makes me sick to think about. I want to recognize that there was one more person who died that day. Adam Lanza. Not many people recognize his death. and even though he committed such an awful act, i must recognize him. In Connecticut there are five mental hospitals. I have gone to two of them. Mental illnesses, and depression are not very urgent in the world as far as funding hospitals and states to help these people. There was recently a budget cut at St. Francis making it so that there is no school there anymore. being there for a month, and not having school is hard. Especially since some are there for almost a year. I am not here to talk about my problems, and this wasn't even supposed to turn into talking about this. But maybe, just maybe if the U.S made it more of a priority then not so many people with mental illnesses would commit awful acts and treat others so horribly. not all people do this, who have depression or any other disorder. But a lot of people have these thoughts, and some even act on them today. When the one year anniversary comes around i would like to think of the memories about the children, and other people who have died. I would like to think about the awful things that happen/happened to people because people like this, adolescents or adults; did not get proper treatment as a younger person, leading to anger and a feeling or betrayment.
God bless everyone who has lost a life during this wonderful time of the year. I hope you are able to have a Merry Christmas.
