If you look at a majority of teen suicides, many of them are caused by bullying. Thousands of teenagers have lost their lives to bullying and the person that wrote this encourages that?!
Adam Lanza was bullied as a kid, and he murdered his mother and 20 children.
I read he had OCD and had a lot of compulsions about killing so it wouldn't surprise me if his OCD attributed to the crime. I did read in "The Man Who Couldn't Stop" by David Adam that people with OCD can commit a crime due to their compulsions and they couldn't control it anymore so they give in but it's rare for an OCD person to commit a crime due to their illness. That might have explained my own violent thoughts and heading for psychopathy with our dog we had and that was my OCD flaring up because of that damn animal.
I think some people are more likely to shoot up a school than others who are also bullied victims or else tons of them would be doing it. Also I don't get why they would even kill innocent people in the first place who never did anything wrong to them. He walked into a elementary school and did it so I doubt all these kids bullied him. He was a 20 year old guy and all these kids were like under 12 so I doubt he knew them personally. Reminds me of the movie Carrie when after the mean joke these kids did, she uses her power to kill everyone in the prom and then she dies at the end and she had been bullied badly and abused by her peers and teachers. Even Stephen King seemed to predict the future with his book. I didn't start hearing about school shootings until I was in the 6th grade.
Bullying and school shootings have somewhat of a correlation. Bullying can make teenagers so depressed that they commit suicide. Committing suicide means one has nothing to lose, there is something in one's life (or lack thereof) that isn't worth living for.
Since suicidal teenagers have nothing to lose, they don't really care if they killed innocent people.
That's just my opinion.
The Columbine gunmen are suspected to have shot up their school in order to get revenge, due to the amount of bullying they had to face.
