Just realised my earlier post didn't come out quite how I meant - it sounds as though I am defending the kids who shoot their classmates, this I am not in favour of. However I do know what's it like to be bullied to distraction. Very often when I tried to retalliate with violence - fist fights, I would be the one who either got beaten up when it was older kids, or got hauled before the teacher for fighting against smaller kids who supposedly "couldn't defend themselves".
