BULLYING VICTIMIZATION: PART 1
Very Important Journalist Note: This was received in an e-mail from Terri Ziglar. Per the magazine's policy: it is a straight, unedited, copy / paste.
He has a semi automatic in his back pack. He has a shotgun in in his car. She's got a switchblade in her pocket. All possible. All easy enough to get. All may or may not be already walking the halls of the school or maybe their plan is to run in and take as many people out as possible. And they have, countless numbers. Not all for the same reason but most and they have caused immeasurable grief across this country! The recent "March For Our Lives" has had a tremendous impact on us all and we should applaud all of these teens for their courage and strength to stand up and say their voice matters! Congratulations to you all for standing up for gun control issues and pushing for the safety of your schools! Those issues are absolutely essential to fight for at a time such as this!
But back to the guy with the semi automatic, or the one with the shot gun in the car, or maybe even the girl with the switchblade in her pocket, to carry out such a brutal travesty in OR around a school, do you really think they expected or wanted to live after that? No, it seems as though cop assisted or just plain suicide was their choice. The internal pain that they had been going through caused them to choose death over life. They knew when they entered the school, that soon they would be taking their very last breath.
They also most of the time had a target, that had placed so much pain on them by bullying, making them feel less than, not ever able to fit in, that the rage accompanied by such hellish pain could no longer be controlled and revenge ensued.
Should we have sympathy for them? That's not what is being suggested. It's extremely difficult to feel sorrowful for anyone that has placed so much pain on us all. This is just another side of the coin, that I believe it would help us all to look at.
