This is Purley a fictional Story, location, names, and everything els is all made up.

In Travis NewYourk, At johnyoung high school the day was normal, Students ran to their Next class, For Casper Perry this was no normal day, today would be the day he would become a hero. For Casper, It was lunch time. Everything was normal, the accasonal nerd getting into a fight with Popular Boy's.
As Casper Sat Down, He heard several screams. A Boy Had brought a gun to school, an m-16 Automatic. The Boy who brought the gun had brought it for the soul purpose of killing anyone who tried to pick on him. Casper Knew somthing had to be done.
Casper Got up from his chair, Made a mad dash for the boy with the gun, made a gymnastics leap, in mid air Casper Was Shot, ending his life. Altho, his lifeless body landed on the boy with the gun.
Sending the boy to the ground, where school officers sadly shot The boy in the head.

If Casper wouldnt have cared so much, many many other students would have likley lost their lives. Casper Made the ultimate sacrafice to ensure the saftey of almost complete strangers.
The End.

It could be better. Go into more detail about his day before the shooting. If you let us know more about him, his death at the end would have more of an impact on the reader. Let the readers into Casper's mind a little more, so that we can understand his motive more for jumping in front of that bullet. Give the readers a little more of his train of thought. Make the impact of him jumping in front of the bullet like something that he knew he had to do, even though he might not know the person that he was saving.

This could be a great story if you worked on it more, and got into it. I would love to see it as a fuller story, it has so much potential. :)

What the hell is it with people writing stories about kids bringing guns to school these days? This is at least the eigth one that I've read that has to do with a student bringing a gun to school and shooting someone.
Anyway, back on topic:
where school officers sadly shot The boy in the head.
Very unrealistic. Officers are trained to shoot as a last resort, and only if lives are in immediate danger. The boy was down, trapped under a body, and was not an immediate threat. The officers likely would have stunned him or simply kicked the gun away, but never would they shoot him in the head when he was incapacitated.
This story is short and to the point, which is bad. This seems more like a newspaper article than an actual story. You need to elaborate. What was he thinking about as his day started? What did he look at as he walked around? Did he have any friends to talk to? Did he do anything before class? What happened during his morning periods? What was he eating for lunch? What did he think about it? Why did he act the way he did when he saw the kid with the gun? Every Detail Matters!

Also, you tend to capitalize your 'T's.

It could be a bit longer, but it was a really good story. Sad too, but it kinda teaches a lesson at the same time.I like it! :cool:

More detail and Background, maybe do the entire day, not just that lunch, so you can explore more of the character(s) and history. Also maybe type it in word first, so you can use spell check and such.

I am sorry to be harsh, but I figure I must. For my own sake, I will put this in a list format.

Let's start with the bad news.

Cons:
Your grammar and spelling leave much to be desired.
The story is too short, which has been said.
There is no purpose to this story. It is a minor description of an occurance.

Pros:
You want to write.
You want your writing to be read.

My suggestions:
Take English class very seriously if you want to write. Take the class every year, and pay attention all the time.
Read often, and read the most difficult stuff you can metally digest. Find something you are interested in and latch onto it.
Keep writing.

    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
