Naz Root: Music Monday - Jeremy by Pearl Jam

Music Monday - Jeremy by Pearl Jam

This song is based on a true story about a teen at Richardson High School, Texas who brought a gun to school and shot himself in front of his classmates. (You can read the article here.) For me, this song tells me so much about society. So, to parents around the world, please love your children and know them better than anyone.
