There is way too much student anger; anger that has been seeded and nourished by school boards, administrators, and teachers.
I sent my daughter off to high school this morning with a blend of regret and fear. There are threats against schools all over the map of Michigan today; copycats in the wake of the Oxford shootings.
This is not a healthy way to live.

I was bullied 50 years ago for being smarter than the bullies. My sons were bullied for being non white.
The school shooter at one town where I had practiced was in fostercare after being abused by his alcoholic father, but projected his anger against others at his school.
But bullying is not always stopped by the school. And notice all the movies about people who kill someone in revenge? That would justify their actions. Psychologists who affirm that their anger is just also let the kid justify that revenge killing is justified.
Nor is bullying limited to the US.
I live in Asia and one of the themes of some of the family type Korean dramas is kids being bullied in school.
That’s a good question.
