    Default So my 14 year old brother witnessed a school shooting today.

    West Middle School in Martinsville, Indiana.

    My brother watched it happen, the two of them (the shooter and victim) were planning on having a fight when one pulled a gun. He's all upset and I don't know what to say to him to chill him out =/

    Look at your sig, now back to mine, now back to yours, now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped trolling and e-thugging like a nerd yours could be like mine.
    Look down, now back up. Where are you? You're on IBISgaming.com, reading the sig your sig could be like. I'm sexting your girl.

    A victims advocate can do a lot for someone in his position. Call Victim Assistance @ (765) 342-1186 and ask for a referral to a victims advocate for a witness to a shooting. I think that's the right number for your area anyways.

    If you would rather talk to him then just use good ol' psychodynamic theory.

    Simply put:
    1. Create a safe situation.
    2. Let him talk about it.
    3. Invite and allow him to feel and express their feelings.
    4. Help to come to a resolution in due time.
    5. Use this as a leaning situation to develop skills in dealing with feelings in general.

    The FBI is setting up stuff locally tonight through the weekend for the students, but I mean I feel like I should talk to him and am totally clueless how to help, he's like talking to a rock

    You don't have to get him to say anything to help. Just be there for him and hang with him, play some co-op video games, go get something to eat etc etc..
    These are the words you wish you wrote down.

    i'd say that you shouldn't start it. take him out for some food, play some magic w/ him, or just hang out in general. eventually, if he needs to talk he will. you can't force the issue, he'll just close up.
