Ok, i had just finished reading this and i never knew how horrible it was!!! Seriously omg how can someone do sush a thing. I know there's alot of things worse in the world and I know this is horrible but i only read it because i was told that my aunties and uncles house is right next to the school. and my auntie ( shes dead now but i never met her ) heard all the gunshots at the school. and how i played on that school field! I can't beleive it was this bad!

Anyway do you remember this ? x

Oh god yes. I was 13 when this happened. It was so horrible. The worst massacre we have ever had in UK in last 100 years.


It was so horrific and so sad. So many young lives lost.

i was the same age as ukturtle it was incredibly sad so many innocent lives lost, i also remember that my school were very nervous (as i am guessing most were) and changed all the security in the school in case a copy cat person targetted else where

There have been so many school massacres especially in the US. its horrible and terrifying to read these types of things.

I watched a doc on it a while ago, its horrible at how many were effected. People tend to forget about the survivors and how they are still going through crap today. What makes monsters even contimplate mass murder is too much for me to get my head round :bored:

And omg anothing thing I found out was that My mums cousins Daughter ( I dont know what that is ) was a girl scount/brownie ( what do you call them here? ) and the guy who killed everyone was the leader of the girls. Apparently he was all messed up because they wanted to take him away from children. It made him go crazy. It makes me feel sick what he did, it really does !!! :@@

Edit: I was told my auntie was buried near the children that died!! it's wierd finding all this out

No he didn't. He rereleased the song after another singer altered one of the verses in memory of the Dunblane victime.
