Students, educators react to rash of violent threats circulating on social media: ‘we dont need this’ [Video]

PHOENIX – Students are living in a world where school threats and violence seem to happen all the time, across the country and in the Phoenix area.

This past week, more than 100 schools in Arizona were targeted by school threats, including two schools in the Buckeye area. Per Buckeye Police, a 13-year-old girl and a 17-year-old male have been arrested in connection with the separate incidents.

For students, school threats are something they are sadly learning to live with.

“Honestly, it’s just become so common,” said senior Miranda Miranda. “Like, when I tell my mom we had a threat today, she says ‘another one?'”

“It’s like to a point where it’s just, ‘oh another one. Here we go again,’ you know?” said sophomore Eliana Conde-Guerrero.

Miranda and Conde-Guerrero are on the student council at Cesar Chavez High School. They say the threat of shootings or bombings can quickly gain steam on social media.
