RE: Showcase Sunday: When I was in the 7th Grade I punched Kathy S. in the nose

A very interesting read indeed.
It seems like a classic tale of being pushed to the limit. Fight or flight mode kicked in and you did what needed to happen.

I’m in the UK so can’t comment on the gun laws and suggestions, but I’d be interested to know if/how many of the school shootings of recent times are thought to be directly triggered by bullying..

Sort:  

There is a media attempt to try to blame bullies for the school shootings. I personally think it is a number of factors.

Repressed feelings, no good way to work out conflict and also, the power of suggestion. The more we talk about it and focus on it the closer it is to people's minds.
