Tragic News - Important Message

I recently was saddened by a news story in which an eighth grade boy was murdered by a classmate. I wasn't sure if or how I would cover it here, and have been giving it some thought for a couple of days.

But then Ellen DeGeneres mentioned it today and she put it more eloquently and in a better perspective than I ever could.

Here's is what she said, and hopefully you agree with her message as much as I do. Ellen also has more information and links to organizations that can help on her show's website (which I've linked to her name above).
