Another murder on Campus is indeed unnerving.
Our Daughter called yesterday before she went to class to alert us.
We saw nothing on TV but the Ledger carried a story today.
Once again foreign students involved.
Just as youngsters on cruise ships are expected to adjust to new digs far away or very different they bring emotional personal baggage, perhaps unresolved, that is sometimes overwhelming. Their coping skills are not well honed and they may not have the emotional safe havens we create around us to go to while we sort things out.
Knee jerk reactions result in thoughtless mayhem.
I submit that we must do a better job of preparing students for the stand alone days that occur as they do more mature activities.
