Summary: Jordan Lewis who was 15 years old was dead. He killed himself with a shotgun blast to the chest. Many citizens who heard this news were shocked. He saw a school presentation about bullying the day before he dies. One of the doctors said that the bullying is a potential stress-or. His family was shocked by this issue and they were just crying. However, the bigger thing is that the students who bullied Jordan Lewis do not recognize their crimes and sins. Citizens are in rage.

My opinion: I think the school bullying is getting bigger and bigger issue. This should be removed by the power of teachers and school. Some school do not care about their students. This should be done. It is enough.

Summary: Kendrick Johnson was 17 years old. He was dead in age of 17. It was a shocking discovery inside his body. Before he died his body and skull had been stuffed with newspaper. According to the search, his organs removed, cavity filled with newspaper. Father kept saying, "We thought we were burying Kendrick, not half of Kendrick," This sentence touched citizens mind. Kendrick Johnson was found dead in a rolled-up gum mat in January. However, his death was ruled accidental; a private autopsy challenged that finding.

My opinion: The human traffic problem is really serious in Korea too. Because of money, they sell people's organs. This doesn't make sense. The world is getting worse and worse.
