I’m glad people are speaking up about that victim-blaming crap. Telling the victims of a school shooting “you should be nicer to the outcasts so they won’t resort to mass murder” is king of like telling a battered spouse “you shouldn’t have mouthed off like that.”
Yes, all of us can work to be more kind and respectful (not just teens). No, there’s no reason to believe American high schools are uniquely prone to cliques or bullying or that said behavior is the driving force behind all these mass shootings.
