[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing is being done and nothing will ever be done.  Speaking as a white male that wasn’t one of the cool kids in high school, I get the anger and frustration.  I was in high school when Columbine happened and my one (and only) friend told me he understood why they did it.  So did I.  We were both surprised it didn’t happen more often.  Of course I would never have done something like that but I could certainly understand it.  I hated the other kids in my school.

Look, there are alternative schools and programs for “at risk youth”.  You know, the bullies headed for prison.  There are no programs for the bullied and when you’re experiencing varying degrees of bullying every day it gets to you.  Combine that with raging hormones and teenage male testosterone levels and you get very angry kids.

I eventually took martial arts and after another student tried to attack me in gym class (it didn’t go well for him since I had a couple years of training at that point) no one tried to physically bully me again.  That doesn’t mean there weren’t other types of bullying.  Kids saying things constantly.  Emotional bullying and so on.  There is no help for the white teen kid that doesn’t fit in and has few friends.

I had to think long and hard before posting this so go easy on me...[/quote]

Thanks for not killing people!

Hah yeah funny.  I mostly found consolation knowing that I would succeed in life.  Plenty of the cool kids are still back in the small to medium sized town I grew up in.  I’m far more successful than they are now.  A surprising number of them are actually dead from opioids.[/quote]

I wasn't joking. High school is hard.

And cheers to being successful while the cool kids rot! It must really suck to peak in high school.[/quote]

Thanks.  :). I wonder how common it is for people to peak in high school?  Based on my sample of one, quote a few did.  I have noticed some of the other kids that tended to be nice to me are doing well.  Looking back, some of them were probably having a tough time too.  It’s a shame that as an ackward youth I couldn’t really talk to them.  I feel like helping the bullied kids wouldn’t just reduce school shootings but also suicides (and this was really what I contemplated).[/quote]
