That one TV Series Episode every student must watch before passing out!

This was much more than just an episode. It portrayed everything so well, so realistically. A depressed kid, more depressed classmates that generally go unnoticed by their fellow popular classmates, that fear one experiences that they might lose a loved one, jealousy, revenge, bad journalism... everything that high-schoolers need to realize depicted in just one episode! This leaves such a powerful and lasting impression on everybody who watches it!

One Tree Hill 3x16 (With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept)

"Does this darkness have a name? This cruelty, this hatred, how did it find us? Did it steal into our lives, or did we seek it out and embrace it? What happened to us? That we now send our children into the world like we send young men to war... Hoping for their safe return... But knowing that some will be lost along the way. When did we lose our way? Consumed by the shadows, swallowed whole by the darkness. Does this darkness have a name? Is it your name?"

It was not just about the shooting in a school campus. It gives a detailed description about the circumstances that led to it. And the way directors have presented this, everybody watching this can put themselves in the same shoes as these people in the story and ponder upon the message they wanted to convey.

It totally has the capacity to change the way high-schoolers interact with each other. It'll remind them of the responsibilities they have towards each and every classmate. And it's really important, to be kind to everyone you know from school. It's not necessary that a shooting has to take place as a wake up call everytime, right? This is what teens need to learn from this episode.
