At the very least that shows that violent media isn't some horribly warping influence which turns everybody into maniacs. Hopefully that kid'll get some sort of counseling now.

Nothing can justify what he was going todo, but it should be a crime for pushing people like that to the breaking point.

How was this to be a school "shooting?" They found him with only a knife.

So you think there should be laws against verbal "teasing?" What should the punishment be?

We have laws in this country that prohibit cruel and unusual punishment. That would never fly with the ACLU.

It shouldn't be a crime to tease someone, it should be a crime to shoot someone for calling you fat or four-eyes...


Wait, it is a crime....

some critics point the finger at music, video games, tv, mother father, I believe most of the anger comes from the bullies at school, picking on fellow students who don't have nice clothes, or being poor, looking different, students who are openly gay get picked on and beat up, and its sad cause you goto school to learn and to prepare for your future. I'm sure some of it is linked to young ages, as you get older you muture more, but I believe that more should be done at schools to prevent things like that from hapening.

people need to learn to be thick skinned

turn the other cheek

why are we surprised that our children value vindictiveness when that is the basis for our foreign policy?

No not blaming Bush, merely making an obvious correlation.

Suzanne has a very good point. How can we expect our children to be mature and rise above bullies if we support military actions like the Iraq invasion. It all trickles down.

People seem to think that you can just let your kids raise themselves and they'll be okay. You have to get involved with your kid's life if you want them to have a chance at being anywhere near sanity. They need to know that you love and support them and that they can come to you with any problem they may have and you can help them with it.

It always blew my mind to see parents and children not have good relationships. My mom and I haven't always had the greatest of times, but there is a connection between us that I don't think alot of kids have with their parents. I used to have friends that didn't have any real communication or relationship with their parents, and it had such horrible affects on their lives. Maybe not obvious at first, but it's there. We're talking deeply rooted emotional problems.

This also goes for the bullies themselves. Some have these same problems of not having good relationships with their folks. Others have great relationaships, but are encouraged by their shitty ass parents to engage in gay bashing/nerd bashing/racist activity. The parents who do care may not see/know that they are giving kids at school shit who are less well off/not as good looking/different from them.

No one person is at fault for this kind of shit. It's a combination of factors and different in each situation. I think the biggest factor in most situations does stem from parent involvement, though. Whether it's the parent that doesn't care if their kid picks on other kids, or the parent that doesn't pay enough attention to realize that their own child is struggling so much that they are contemplating suicide or murder.
