School shootings are on the increase and it often seems like another shooting is just a matter of time. The emphasis on “encouragement groups”, as a method of preventing gun violence, is dealt with in practical terms. Students will learn to help each other before a perpetrator becomes discouraged enough to shoot other children. The reader will also experience the logic of a young person who verbalizes suicidal ideations and another who develops an eating disorder. Varying strategies to overcome these obstacles is also presented.
