Someone learning to write (or being a writer) needs to be in touch with those real, raw things that run through their lives and minds. They can't start out by putting some subjects off limits - especially in a personal journal.
I suspect that most teens these days have spent a lot of time thinking about Columbine and similar events - wondering what they would do, or perhaps wondering what it was like inside the minds of the shooters that caused them to do what they did.
I hope she doesn't stop writing. In fact I hope she becomes a famous writer and someday recalls to future teens how she started out - to illustrate to children 20 years from now - what these incredibly ugly and debased times were about.
