Sure they snapped.

Sure they snapped. They couldn't handle it. BUT... what if someone has had teasing all their life? What if it's not just an occasional thing? What if they've never experienced true friends or anything good like that? Would you blame them for thinking everyone's out to get them? I wouldn't, cause it has happened to me. Ever since I started school people crapped on me cause i was different. I'm still different, but i'm not proud of it becuase i found out there's nothing wrong with being different. What happened? I changed schools. Sometimes "running away from your problems" works. It's not running away actually. I needed a change.

Ever since ive stopped having problems, ive tried to understand what makes people so unkind. I've come to the conclusion that they are really the weak people trying to fit in. They feel that if they put someone down then people will look up to them cause they'll seem strong. They're the ones who need help, not the ones who get teased. Worry about them LATER. You won't need to worry about them if the bullies aren't bullies.

People who snap when getting teased aren't weak. Just more sensitive than other people. Those killers were more than just sensitive, I'll admit. There was something really wrong in their way of thinking.
