In order to be accepted, He began to spend time with a group of skateboarders. He was accepted by this group but they also teased and bullied him occasionally. Shortly before the shooting, Williams spoke on two occasions of his plan to "pull a Columbine" at Santana High School, but no reports were ever made of these threats to the school. (Columbine High School shootings, a massacre that occurred on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, leaving 15 dead, including the two students responsible for the attack. It was one of the deadliest school shooting incidents in American history.)
The protagonist in this story is Torey Adams, and high school football player who, according to some people, have a perfect life. One day, one of Torey’s peers, Christopher Creed, goes missing without any notice and the entire town goes insane with spreading rumors as to whether Creed had run away, committed suicide, or been murdered. Before creed had disappeared, he was never really talked to. Most people made fun of him, or beat him up for no reason at all. Plum-Ucci suggests that bullying can affect somebody’s life and their actions.

Bernalillo County Sheriff Dan Houston told reporters that Nehemiah Griego had been contemplating the killing spree for “at least a week.” Houston said Griego told police that after killing his family at their Albuquerque home on Saturday, he reloaded and planned to go to a nearby Wal-Mart store. “He contemplated ending this with mass destruction,” Houston said. Instead, the 15 year old spent time with his girlfriend, and the pair later went to a church where his

What’s even worse is that two of the students killed had not even been involved in the protest they were just walking to class and had gotten caught in the crossfire. This had a major impact on other campuses and nation wide.

Alice Marwick is a postdoctoral researcher at Microsoft Research and a research affiliate at Harvard University.” An example of Pathos, if any: “The suicide of Jamey Rodemeyer, the 14-year-old boy from western New York who killed himself last Sunday after being tormented by his classmates for being gay, is appalling. His story is a classic case of bullying: he was aggressively and repeatedly victimized. Horrific episodes like this have sparked conversations about cyber bullying and created immense pressure on regulators and educators to do something, anything, to make it stop.” An example of Logos, if any: “In our research over a number of years, we have interviewed and observed teenagers across the United States. Given the public interest in cyber bullying, we asked young people about it, only to be continually rebuffed. Teenagers repeatedly told us that bullying was something that happened only in elementary or middle school.
Kiss my fucking ass Tragedies that happen at most school even universities, have done with students committing suicide and student shootings. Many people and reporters always diagnosed these students with either a psychiatric problem or some other disorder the child has had while growing up. They really don’t get the real story of what really influenced these people to do what they did and did they try to show signs that they needed help. People already think that they solved and investigated the problem of the V-tech shooting. They already think that the man Chos was on antidepressants and was seeking psychiatric help.
However, tragedies such as Sandy Hook give us even more of a reason why firearms shouldn’t be banned. A lethal criminal gunman sees a school as a weaponless haven full of vulnerable victims, making them the easiest places to perform their psychotic plans. I believe that some of these massacres could be prevented if places, such as schools, have a security guard who is armed and trained for these situations. In 2007, a gunman entered a Colorado church and shot and killed two girls. A former police officer who was volunteering at the church “drew her firearm, shot and wounded the gunman before he could kill anyone else,” as stated in Bennett’s article.
