This is not just about one incident.
It’s about a broken system.
Where I grew up, three boys were shot.
A father accidentally killed his own son.
And now we see kids beating each other up, posting it online like it’s entertainment.
But violence isn’t born—it’s taught.
And more dangerously, it’s what’s not taught that fuels it.
Our education system——teaches us how to compete.
But not how to connect.
We learn math, science, history…
But we don’t learn how to feel, how to communicate, how to relate.
There are no tools for emotional intelligence.
No space for self-awareness.
No guidance in discovering purpose, values, or how to handle pain.
We are trained to become workers, not humans.
And as long as schools ignore what it truly means to be human,
violence—whether loud or silent—will continue to grow.
It’s time we bring emotional education, self-inquiry, and conscious communication into schools.
Not as an extra, but as the foundation.
Because without it, we’re raising generations that may succeed on paper…
but are lost inside.
