Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
 or PTSD is a wound as surely as the gunshots themselves. The hard part is that we can't see who was hit. Even the one affected, quite often does not realize what is wrong. To make matters worse, it often shows up long after the incident is past. The good news is that there is hope, but it lies in understanding the problem.

The young girl will not go to bed at night. She is getting little sleep and her grades have taken a nose dive. Her parents help her struggle with the fear. She is afraid that if she sleeps, she will have that dream again. The one where she hears the shots, the screams the police cars. "I wasn't even hit, so why does it still hurt so bad, Mom?" She is still a victim from Jonesboro, Springfield, Pearl, or one of the other schools that suffered such violence. Maybe she is your daughter or your student.
