The 2025 story features two teenage boys, ages 14 and 13 years of age that already know each other and the families are friends as well. The two individuals end up in multiple fights over a female at school. The fights get a little more intense each time, with a particular fight stated to be very violent. The parents get involved and seemingly squash the issue the boys have and assumes all is well.

One day the 14 year old brings his parent's firearm to school with the intent to terminate the 13 year old. Well, just before school ends, the 14 year old walks up to the 13 year old, pulls the gun from his backpack and shoots him point blank in the head, instantly killing him. The 14 year old drops the gun and runs for home while kids and faculty scramble for safety in fear of being shot or killed as the school goes into lockdown mode.

In the end, the 13 year old is gone eternally while the 14 year old is charged as an adult with murder, leaving two families in total devastation. While I do not know for certain, nor will I ever ask anyone about it out of respect for the families, I can only imagine that the once solid relationship the two families had is most likely strained at this point and time.

Firearms Safety Challenge:

Challenge 1: I challenge all parents find out if your child currently has an issue with another child and see just how deep that issue runs. Get involved asap!

Challenge 2: I challenge all parents, whether you own a firearm or not, to have an immediate conversation with your children about firearms safety, the damage firearms can inflict on another child or others and why firearms are not to be used by any means to settle disputes.

Challenge 3: If your children are of a reasonable age, and if you as a parent are comfortable in doing so, perhaps show your children the damage firearms can do to others, but be sure not too be to graphic (this is only a suggestion because I know kids see it on TV, playing videos games, etc.)

Challenge 4: I challenge all parents to ensure your firearms and ammo are secured daily and completely out of the reach of your children.

This episode touches on the importance and teaching point of having an effective daily plan. It further challenges you to use phones, notepads, recorders, etc., and for 3 consecutive days jot down every relevant task you need to do for that particular day. Next jot down every task you failed to complete for that day and finally jot down whatever interference caused the incomplete task(s). On Day 4, take a look at those specific failed tasks and determine why you were unable to avoid the interference(s). The point of emphasis here is to ensure you conduct the challenge for 3 consecutive days and then shoot to make it a commonplace event which can ultimately ensure that you sustain having an effective daily plan for life that produces more positive daily outcomes over negative ones!
