What’s really going on.

What is the cause of school shootings? We choose to over look what was really going on.
There is always a reason that a student lashes out. The media likes to make a circus with it.
The person or persons who committed these offenses had a reason for what they did .

Even if you want to ignore it. Think about this maybe the person who did this was tormented for
Years by other kids finally giving up and getting payback. When I was in school I was severely picked on. I talked to the principal but of course he did nothing. That is the problem, sure innocent kids died, but maybe they pushed and pushed until this kid had no choice but to fight back.
We need to start looking out for our kids. The bullying needs to stop. In my case I just dropped out.

I did graduate, but at a later date. Kids should not be afraid to go to school. When you stop the
Bullying you will stop the school shootings. Have you ever thought that the shootings at columbine
Would not have happened if they had been looking out for each other. You need to hold a school
Open house to stop bullying if you stop the bullying you stop the shootings. Certain kids are messed up from birth but there is always a better way to do things. there are certain signs to be aware of. If your child is usually happy and outgoing and you notice a drastic change in there behavior talk to them. Maybe we should start spending more time at home with our kids rather than at work.

    You are so on target about this! Solutions that work: 1 – Teaching the kids to stand up for each other, 2 – then teaching the parents to quit being lazy parents who don’t care about someone else’s kid, teaching their own to do right by others.

    You will be pleased to know that I too was a small kid, however, every fall I enjoyed going to the first day of school, relishing the fact that I was going to beat up the newest school bully of the year. Even at recess the teachers used to grin and turn away when I was on a “teach the bully” mission. Once in a while I got lucky and turned a few; they learned how to be more sensitive to others. You win some, you lose some. I was a feisty kid to say the least…

    I think it\’s great that you\’re bringing up the subject, someone has to. But I don\’t think that bullying is all there is to it. If you research it further, I believe you\’ll find that in a vast majority of cases, if not all, there are drugs involved…I\’m not talking about street drugs, but things like Ritalin, etc. That\’s rough stuff. Check out the statistics.

    I agree on most of what have you pointed out but I just one to stress that there are other factors that are involved in such actions, shooting as the case here. I too agree with what Diane had stated. Thank God that no such incident as big as the Columbine shooting rampage has happen in our Universities.

    I believe the school shootings involve more than just bullying. There are probably deep mental issues going on and there could be some severe issues at home. And, I believe that some people are just born bad.

    I believe that bullying, drugs, alcohol, depression and other mental health issues are involved. There probably issues at home that go unnoticed.
