Enroute from school, the elementary kids that I work with drove passed a murder scene; they saw three bodies laid out, police, helicopters, tape and many on lookers. Many of the young girls yelled and screamed in terror as the bus driver told them to duck down. The young boys seemed to be numb and not affected by this, which we know is not true. Honestly I am as concerned for those who were expressive as I am with those who were numb. At least those who were able to cry, scream and express themselves have a healthy outlet. Unfortunately young boys, even as young as elementary age, are not allowed to cry or vent in these same humane ways because boys don’t cry. However if you spend any time with these same young boys you will witness this trauma seep its way out of them in ways that are unhealthy: rage, violence, outburst, emotional instability, breakdowns and the like. Our children are involved in and being affected by trauma on a daily basis and the repercussions of this violence and traumatic will affect us all for years to come. #violveenceaffectsusall
