Student victims of school massacres

The massacres committed by disturbed students in schools in Canada, the USA and some European countries (Finland, Germany, the UK, etc.), have intensified in the last 10 years. In addition to causing several deaths, at times selective and others indiscriminate, these occurrences have left the survivors of the killings with physical and psychological scars.

The survivors of these attacks suffer from depression, often accompanied with the feeling of guilt for having lived through the tragedy. Some have taken the decision to change schools, while those who return to study at the setting of the massacre have to face a scenario reminding them of what happened on that fateful day.
