Mr. Trixter
I'm sure you've all heard of the recent school shooting in Minessota (forgive me If I got the name of the state wrong). As with the Columbine, Colorado incident, the shooter/victim (he was a victim as well as an attacker) was taunted and bullied. But what gets me angry is that this has happened time and time again, and still no member of the school staff pays attention to the significant details. What scares me is that they think they know the trend: taunted/bullied goth kid. But NO. I, myself and many other kids that I personally know have been made fun of and taunted (im not talking teased, i'm talking brutally verbally and sometimes even physically abused), but I would never and they would never go and shoot students and teachers, that would be crazy. So, it's not just being bullied. There should be a guidance counselor or someone who can tell that the shooters also have mental disorders or some kind of disorder, and after that it doesn't take a genius to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
Now, there is a T.V. show called Degrassi, in which a student named Rick, who seemed a nice guy, would suddenly and shockingly (this is all put in cliffnotes form, mind you) abuse his girlfriend, and eventually he indirectly put her in a coma. Because of this, the girl's friends began to bully him, but it was a year after, more than a year after and they were still bullying him at school, not stopping, even after most of them had stopped, two kids woulnd't stop. It was enough; this kid obviously had PROBLEMS, and even went to the principal, who wouldn't listen and was too stubborn. The next day, after having paint and feathers dumped on him, brought a gun to school, and that day put one kid in a wheelchair for life, and ended up being shot accidentally in a struggle-for-gun fight with another student, who was trying to stop him from shooting a girl in the hallways.
That was just T.V, but after this recent real-life incident, the Columbine incident, and the countless others, people should be careful, but also not be ignorant.
Ideas? Agreements? Disagreements? Rants? Opinions?.....
