In Long Beach California, an 11 year old girl, who got into
a fight with another 11 year old girl died.
The fight was over a boy. Authorities say no bullying was involved.Both girls agreed to meet after school at a particular place
and fight. Both girls hit each other.Neither girl was knocked out or knocked down during the
fight.
A few hours after the fight, one of the girls complained
about a headache. She was rushed to the emergency room. She died soon after getting there. This tragedy is an example of the pointless stupidity of
violence.
People who fight often let their emotions get carried away. They fight without knowledge of the medical condition of
their opponent. It takes just one well placed blow to demonstrate the
fragility of human life.
The girl who died had been attending acting workshops for
Kids On The Porch, a children/teen internet series (slated to be a TV series in
the near future) with plots around problems children and teen face including violence.
Her opponent may face homicide charges. Now as a result, of this pointless fight, one girl is dead
and the other could be facing criminal charges. Even if she doesn’t serve time in jail she will have to live
with the guilt of ending another life for the rest of her life. The Lord has taught me that every life is precious and every
life serves a purpose.
Even at their young ages both girls’ lives have already
served a very powerful purpose. Through this tragedy, they have served the purpose of illustrating
the stupidity of violence.
Some people learn from their mistakes. Others avoid making mistakes by learning from the mistakes
of others. Let your children learn from this.
In True Faith,
The Prophet of Life
