It depends. Do you attend a high school in America?

  Is this a reference to shooting deaths? If so, you should be aware that there are ~100 mass shooting deaths a year despite the sensational coverage they get in the media. America does have many more gun deaths than other countries, but the majority of those deaths are suicides and a majority of the homicides are in high crime areas. This is a problem that we can address, but mass shootings, though tragic and terrifying, are not a large public health issue.

    The intentional murder rate in the US is around an order of magnitude bigger than in most countries in Western Europe, Australia or Canada. If you think that’s not an issue, I guess I must disagree.

      I do think that's an issue, and I said it's one we can address. It's separate from the issue of mass shootings in schools, which is what I was commenting about.
