President George W. Bush takes a variety of questions from the audience, including questions regarding the tragedy at Virginia Tech University, during a visit to Tipp City High School Thursday, April 19, 2007, in Tipp City, Ohio. "One of the lessons of these tragedies is to make sure that when people see somebody, or know somebody who is exhibiting abnormal behavior, to do something about it, to suggest that somebody take a look; that if you are a parent and your child is doing strange things on the Internet, pay attention to it, and not be afraid to ask for help, and not be afraid to say, I am concerned about what I'm seeing," said President Bush.
