As always, with topics as complex and sensitive as these, please take a minute to think before you post. If this thread is to stay open the following must be avoided: - Disrespect to any of the parties involved (be it the bullies or bullied) The above includes: - Justifying or glorifying death or suicide as deserved - Disregarding or belittling the circumstances that give rise to these situations There's a reason why these discussions are always so sensitive. There are extremes on either side of the discussion that are disrespectful and narrow-minded in their own ways; the best approach is to carefully consider the other side before posting Warnings and bans will be handed out for unreasoned and insensitive statements. | ||

"but they made fun of me so i shot him" oh here is a fucking medal. anyone who does this should go to prison. welcome to earth, where you're going to encounter assholes your entire life. if you think the only way to deal with it is to shoot them, you're bat shit crazy and deserve to be in prison your entire life. when i was in elementary i would get made fun of sometimes by random kids because my name is very different, but i didn't give a shit. I think you're missing the basic point...nobody said it's okay to kill anyone. Nobody. o.o People have only said that they understand the shooter's feelings. | ||

I mean yeah sure, bullying has always made people do crazy shit, but doesn't there seem to be a FAR greater reaction to it nowadays in terms of violence and suicide, etc? Maybe I'm wrong. I guess it's just a different age with things like facebook and shit which are somehow making it harder for kids. Sad. | ||

Nope, that is the problem. I understand the social majority of this forum will always sympathize with the bullied first, but the act of murder is worse than bullying. Stating your explicit lack of sympathy for the murdered is a very poor stance to take and implies sympathy for the shooter against the bullies. The bullied child needs much more help at this point, but there is no help for the dead. The obvious solution is preventative and it would be nice if we lived in a perfect world. Be more outraged at the parents of both sides, the school system itself, and society for both the tolerance of such things and the ease of which a child of compromised mental health (from said bullying) can get a gun. I feel like in these sorts of threads there's too much of a kneejerk reaction to the situation. | ||

I was bullied myself and while I disagree with bullying obviously, shooting them isn't the answer. Nobody bothers to help these fucking kids then they wonder why it happened.

If you get abused everyday, you will only take it for so long until you snap. I don't care how nice someone is, if pushed hard enough they will reach a breaking point. | ||

In the current US school system, students are taught to ignore bullies, and go on with their lives. However, in a lot of cases, the psychological damage still exists and instead of ignoring the anger and frustration they feel, it only festers inside them, eventually leading to school shootings. I believe that a total reversal of the current system should be used where children are taught to express their feelings, both negative and positive, in socially constructive activities. In my eyes, it's clearly evident that there is a much deeper societal problem at the root of things because school shootings have been almost a constant for many years now. It also doesn't help that they're plastered all over the news for potential copycats to see. This too. When I was in middle school the faculty actually pushed me away from help claiming I needed to deal with it on my own and saying I was clinging to them too much and taking up too much of their time. That's why I got so messed up, I stopped reporting it (even when it went escalated to something even worse which I will not mention here) - because I thought nobody cared. That's why these kids snap; they honestly think they can't do anything else. | ||
