R.M.S. Titanic In The News

With so many news items about the Titanic, I decided to create a page just for this topic. If you find a Titanic news item of interest, let me know, and I will post it here. Also, check the comments at the bottom to see what others have found (Titanic related only), or leave something YOU found.

24 Mar 2012: I want to say a few words about this next article before you read it. Children have a better ability to handle many things we adults think they are too young to handle. When we try to protect them from life (and that is what we are doing) they get an unrealistic view of what life is like. This makes for bigger problems when they become teenagers and adults. As a child, I had classmates who died from both accident and illness. I was fortunate, I had adults in my life who took this head-on. They sat down and explain what happened to us, watched our reactions, and gave us a chance to voice our opinions and feelings. We didn’t have teams of specialists brought into the school. We had adults we already knew and trusted, these events brought us closer to those adults and made it easier for us to go to them when we got older and needed someone. Death is a part of life. Bad things happen to good people. Bad things do not always come back to the bad people who started them (though I feel better believing it does, eventually). I believe that if we learn as children life is not fair, we become better adjusted adults. With that said here is an article about teachers and parents trying to shield the “unpleasant parts” of Titanic from kids. Follow the link below to find out more.
