School Violence and bullying seem to have a very close relationship. The more kids are bullied the more anger they feel. That's a fairly simple idea. Children all deal with bullying at some point. Most just shrug it off or deal with the problem in non-violent ways. However, everyone has seen a kid get really mad when being picked on and act violently towards someone. It's no usually school shootings, most of the time it's just someone shoving someone else. I think the way for parents and kids to help bully victims is to help then forget about it and move on.
I think the shooter should be tried as an adult being that he is seventeen and able to make his own decisions. I also think he should get a large sentencing for his crime. I don't think that the shooting of students should be taken lightly and he should be punished harshly. The maximum was life and prison and if he got that I think it's be fair. If he doesn't get life he should still get a long sentencing.
