Boys and Shootings

We read an article in class this week about school shootings. This was an eye opening reading for me as I realized that most school shootings don't take place in city schools in the hood but in the suburbs and rural areas. Also most of these shootings were commited by white kids who had been bullied for not being masculine enough. These kids after the shootings have been known to say that they are extracting revege on those that have bullied them. I can't remember the Columbine our countries most infamous school shooting but I do remember the Virgina Tech shooting. This was done by an Asian man. However, he was a middle class young man. After reading this I realize that making fun of kids could have a bigger influence than we think. At the same time offering someone who has no one to sit with a table could go a long way to. You never know it could save a life.
