Its hard to deal with bullying, especially high school kids. It can be so subtle, so obscure, most of the time you won't even know it's happening. I was bullied relentlessly when I was in high school back in the sixties because I wore a hearing aid and I was hard of hearing. But the adults didn't pay attention: to them it was just, you know, "boys will be boys." One coach told me it was my fault because I "didn't stick up for myself." I knew one kid, very small and frail, but a straight A student, whose front teeth were knocked out in the restroom. There was nothing they could do; He was afraid to point a finger (of course), and none of the other kids would "tattle." I knew another kid whose pants were pulled off and tossed onto the roof during lunch. Staff nearby just laughed; "those silly kids...."

I wouldn't be surprised if some of those boys had thoughts of getting an AR and just mowing down their tormentors.

If an adult did something like this, he'd go to jail for assault, but if it's kids, it's somehow "OK."
