Schoolchildren on the Rioting
I am 12 years old and I am in the sixth grade. I was very scared when the riots started. I thought it was only in South-Central Los Angeles and really wasn’t near me. Then it came nearer and I was frightened even more. I feel that the people have a right to be upset, but they don’t have to show it with violence.
People should stop worrying about what color somebody is and start helping our world to heal.
