What is generally the common denominator in all of the school shootings? A disaffected student or former student. Someone that had possibly been bullied or an outcast. A loner. He lets things build until he thinks his only option is to "show them", whereas a punch or two to the nose of a bully might have changed his outlook. Sometimes disputes were settled with the blessing of the school administration by putting on boxing gloves in the gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The school that I attended had a unique and incredibly effective stance on bullying. Students were encouraged to physically engage bullies in groups, and pummel them into submission whenever they would act, and only the bullies were punished after the fact. It led to a culture in which bullies never emerged, and groups collaborated to solve problems. Edited March 27, 2018 by TakeYouToTasker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were beaten senseless and bloody, and then punished and isolated. And then they had to come crawling back, now humbled and shamed, to rejoin their classmates, who held the position of power.
