Deal With It Tuesday, March 09, 2010 By Meghan Mulcahy - Advertising Life is not easy. It is full of twist and turns which challenge who we are as a person. There is not one person with a perfect life. We should never let our problems get the better of us, especially to the point of taking the life of another.     A couple of weeks ago one man decided he did not need to live by this rule. He let his personal problems get the better of him and went in to a middle school and only wounded two kids. He would have hurt more if there wasn't a teacher who put his life on the line to save his students.   According to Associated Press, Bruco Strong Eagle Eastwood talked to himself and imaginary friends regularly. I talk to myself all the time too, but you don't see me bringing a gun to school and killing people. If you are having problems go see a doctor for it. I know this might sound harsh, but deal with it.   I understand if I had a name like I might have some pent up anger and want to take out it on something. No matter what is wrong with your life, you can't take the lives of innocent people. Just about eleven years ago in another town close to Littleton two kids went into the high school and killed twelve kids and a teacher. Just like those kids took their own problems and made them everybody else's, Eastwood has done the same thing.   While he sits in jail and is fed, and provided his own bed and restroom area, everyone else has to clean up his mess. They have to deal with the heartache. Students now will go back to school living in fear someone might come into the school and kill them. All the victims of Columbine are forced to relive the memories they strived so hard to forget. With it plastered all over the television, internet, and newspapers, all the past victims of school shootings are reminded of the awful memories.   These are all problems he created because he couldn't control his personal problems. When people feel overwhelmed like this, usually they go and see a doctor. These doctors are just waiting to take your money and sit and listen to your problems. Seeing a pshycologist seems like a much easier and less dangerous decision.   This is for all the people who think they have the right to take a life of another. Nobody cares your life is falling apart because nobody has a perfect life. Deal with it. We all do! Taking drastic action is selfish thinking. You have no right to take the life of another. There are tons of things you can do to stop feeling this way. Talk to a friend, doctor, or even write in a journal if it helps. If you can't find a remedy, then in the words of an influential person in my life, "suck it up cupcake," like all the rest of us.
