In the book nineteen minuets by Jodi, a boy goes in and shoots ten students and injures nineteen in nineteen min. The book is based around a court case of the shooting. The boy who did the shooting was bullied since his first day of kindergarten and one day just snapped and killed the bullies but not mentally there he hurt 19 others. The boy and a girl who was once his friend went to jail and she had shot her bf, that’s why.

Me: I do not feel sorry for those who were shot. People always say It was a harmless joke and I didn’t mean any harm. But you can only push someone to far before they lose there mind. And in the case of the book when The boy finally turned 18 he lost it.

Question: Have you ever been pushed to far by someone and what did you do to control your anger?

Fortunetly I had control of my emotions...

To be honest there are crap loads of variables of such shootings:

On the one hand:

the way bullies are allowed to get away with the crap they pull, and it appears almost institutionalised in all schools!

on the other: It sucks for all the bystanders who just went about their daily visits in these events

and on the mythical third hand: How easy it is to get weapons in the states... and how guns and violence are glorifyed...


It's an inherrent problem of society and it needs to be sorted... MAybe some Draconian-esc laws need to be institutionalised for bullies...

Because this is about a book it's been moved to The Arts.
