social skills, bullying and gun violence..

I think there its a clear pattern... Some kids are different..which lead other kids to pick on them...

a small fraction of the the bullied kids end up as mass shooters..

maybe we need to include national emphasis on social skills training... for eg..teaching kids to use humor to defuse stressful situations eyes, using charm where possible.. This should btw be done not as a one off courses that really insult your intelligence...but as a serious discipline such as math and science...

Maybe, just maybe...that will tackle bullying and prevent massacres like this..

This should be done in addition to the other common sense gun initiatives..

And a small fraction of (add your word) kid end up mass shooters. So, may be we should teach kids not to have black hair because a small fraction of kid with black hair become black shooters. Continue to the extreme.

Aside from the fact we had NO idea whether the kid was bullied or not, why do you think it should be the kid bullied who should learn something. What about the bully?
