And, is it only kids that are "picked on"? Or, is it also unstable kids? Outcasts? Kids with problems at home? etc?
Was the VT guy picked on?

Its hopeless, honestly.
My sons are both in private school, try making fun of a student in there and your kicked out.
A girl with MS went to his school last year, all the kids must give speeches when they graduate from 8th grade (The school goes to 8th right now) and when she gave her speech there was not a dry eye in the house. She told about how she was picked on in public schools and her parents pulled her and began home schooling. Then they found out about this school and sent her for the last 2 years, she said she never felt like a more normal kid in her life and her fondest memories were from the last 2 years where she was accepted as an equal.
Try that in a public school.
There is a boy this year with polio, he walks with braces on both legs and is really tiny. Imagine how he would be treated in public school? He is in 5th grade.
20+ years ago I watched kids with mental and physical handicaps get picked on relentlessly. Try to interfere and your the next target, you just keep your head down and try to blend in. If your a star on the Football team you basically got a pass to torment all you want. I saw this all the time.
Like I said I am surprised there are not more shootings every day especially with this whole emo thing going on. Way more so than when I was a teen.
Like I said before give teachers guns and the first bullet from the student goes their way.
