Yesterday in late afternoon, around 3:30 p.m, a 16-year-old boy was stabbed and serious damaged after a second stabbing near a Toronto high school. The boy from Mother Teresa high school was found laying on the pavement with drenching blood, and was immediatly taken to the hospital, but the boy had non-life-threatening stab wounds to his chest, luckily. This 16 year-old victim just transferred to Mother Teresa last month. A group of teens were found at the scence but refused to talk to the police about the stabbing. Residents around the area told reporters that they didn't find this inccident to be surprising. A man told the reporter that these incidents have been going on for years, and these kids make the town-house residents look bad by bringing the problems to the townhouse area. Cris Bobadilla, who graduated from the high school seven years ago told the reporter that fifteen years ago, anyone can ride a bike late at night and don't have to be scared or worried. Yesterday's stabbing happen to be just in front of Bobadilla's home. This area has been a very messy place with fights always going on and people wanting to stab each other, mostly because people snitches on someone else.
From my personal opinion, I think that our world is turning into a scary one, kids have been manipulated by the media and the public. Before, kids were never thought to be a threat to anyone or anything, but now, teens like us are threatenting others and stabbing others because of someone snitched on a teacher or police. We've also got to keep in mind that we are talking about Canada, a free and safe country, haven from danger, and yet, we still have kids in Toronto our age, stabbing even shooting at others. We must wake up and get out of comfortable life and start changing the world, starting from small things such as schools such as Mother Teresa, because if we don't take action, our comfortable life will soon become a nightmare!

I agree with Zhang's comment. Canada is one of the best countries in the world to live, and with teenagers, stabbing each other, or even shooting each other, is changing the society. I think that teachers and school should take more responsiblity in these actions, and teach children the rights from wrongs. I also belive that the media is putting a huge impact in today's society because teenagers these days are watching too many violent movies, and thinking of these cruel and rude decisions, which they will try at school
