Bullying?
Lt. Col. Grossman
A group of Zion youth traveled to Kingsford on
Wednesday, September 19, first to consume
pizza, but then to listen to a speaker at the
12
Kingsford High auditorium present a talk on
aggressive behavior and bullying, its causes and
possible ways to reverse levels of violence in
schools. After spitting out terribly graphic
scenes of abuse and violence, Lt. Col. Dave
Grossman described a step-wise progression of
mean words and behavior that may be seem
rather benign at first, but which can lead a
person into increasingly abusive acts. A person
can actually become “intoxicated” and addicted
with the attitudes and behaviors that lead to
aggressive behavior—possibly even to murder.
Grossman theorized that much of this problem
stems from the violence found on TV, movies,
and video games. He recommended simple
solutions like: checking out and monitoring
what your children are watching on TV, paying
strict attention to the age-group ratings on video
games, and limiting access to movies with
violence and abuse.
KHS Principal Lyle Smithson wanted to
“encourage students from all of the districts to
attend as well as adults.” There were many
empty seats in the auditorium.
