+1 They certainly seem like they are familiar with that type of lifestyle. |
x100000000 Agreed, thank you! And just waiting to snap. Those parents use "bullying" as an excuse for not having to parent (ex: not taking them home when the school told them to). |
I'm convinced they're drug dealers and that's why they ran. They know either their son is going to rat them out when being questioned or the police will find something in their house when they search it with warrants for the trial. |
I was bullied a lot in middle and high school. Kids ripped up my books, cut my hair, punched, sexually abused me, and more. Teachers saw it happen but they were buddy-buddy with the cool kids and didn’t want to risk their relationships that made them, the adult, feel cool. So no one ever did anything. I wouldn’t ever trust a teacher to know or be honest about who is a bully. |
STOP COMING UP WITH EXCUSES. They’re not drug addicts, their son wasn’t bullied. They’re BAD PEOPLE who didn’t care their son was going to kill people. |
But you didn’t shoot up a school. I’m not here to discuss your trauma or issue with teachers . I’m here to dispel the myth that school shooters are bullied. They’re not. They’re sociopaths and kids know it in their gut and avoid them. |
Idiotic, meaningless generalization. |
I’m the PP and I agree with how you said it here. There were some not-cool kids who weren’t necessarily bullies but who I avoided like the plague because they were obviously messed up. Some teachers were friends with kids in that group, too, and would smoke with them behind the school. One kid in that group did bring a gun to school and our PE teacher sobbed as he held him and read him his rights. |
Ok well go cry about being bullied some more. It’s not this kid’s story. |
Oh, I hadn’t realized you’re directly involved in the investigation and have the facts to support your claims. |
Totally agree. I always told my kids not to be unkind to those kids but don’t befriend them either. Just try to be invisible to them so they won’t think of you either way if they crack. I dunno if that was the right tactic but we’re basically helpless. The schools won’t do anything, the parents won’t do anything until it is too late. |
You had to tell your children not to be unkind to others? |
DP- Um yeah that’s called parenting them. You know, teaching them how to treat others? |
Honestly, he looks like every other teenage boy. This age is filled with arrogance and eye rolling. I’ve seen the same look on my son’s face when I get on him to finish chores. Or the teenagers on his soccer team when I tell them to pick up all the cones after practice. I know they are really thinking “leave me the f alone”, but they do what they are told. You can’t tell “low IQ” or anything. |
