    I think they need to have police presence at that school. If that’s what it has come to then that’s what needs to be done

    Something is seriously wrong when students are bringing weapons to school. We need to start addressing the root causes anger, peer pressure, lack of guidance before more lives are lost.

    Violence in schools is never ‘just a fight.’ Hearts go home broken, families shaken.

    We need more counselors, not just security officers. Young people are crying out for help, and if we don’t listen, this cycle of violence will only get worse

    This is terrifying. Schools are supposed to be safe spaces for learning, not battlegrounds. As a parent, I’m deeply worried about the level of violence we’re seeing among young people lately

    Aren’t even safe in the schools. The crazy things that’s happening out here eh. You send your child to school and don’t know if they’re coming back home

    The fact that two students had to be treated for stab wounds is extremely concerning. The emotional trauma that comes with that kind of violence is long-term. We need intervention at all levels schools, homes, and communities.

    Every week it feels like there’s another stabbing, another fight, another tragedy involving our youth. We can’t keep ignoring the signs. This is a national crisis.

    These are not isolated incidents they reflect a deeper breakdown in family structure, communication, and mental health support. If we don’t act now, we’ll be mourning young people every month.
