It's all very hard for us to believe all of this, but I'm going to go out on a limb that this kid was bullied in some form or fashion.
We growing up all knew of kids being bullied, shoved in lockers, shoved in the hallways, and ridiculed in public at school.
Having now 4 kids go thru high school in the past 10 years, kids are meaner now than they ever have been before.
Victims are bullied 24/7 now, both in public and thru social media. They can never get a break from the torture, embarrassment, and it's a very sad but true reality.
So, in retrospect our youngest daughter is 14, and a freshman. She is an athlete, A student, and just happens to be skinny as a rail, is 5'1" and weighs less than 90lbs. And is knockout! She is made fun of, ridiculed, and called a "twig". To a teenage girl, that can be very hurtful. Some of you know the history that my daughters have gone thru over the past 4.5 years, so this only complicates things in such a young females mind.
I am not defending this teenagers actions in no way, shape or form. But we can not as a society sit back and ask why this happened. We potentially know why it happened, happens everyday, but yet everyone is turning a blind eye to the problem.
God speed to the two young lives lost today. May God's grace be with the injured, and with all of the families.
