14-Year-Old David Phan Shoots Himself in Front of Classmates After Being Bullied

And what does that mean?

Bullying is the new "BUZZ" word.

It has been going on for ages, and it will continue to go on for ages. Sorry, but it is a RITE OF PASSAGE into manhood for most young men.

There was a bully in my neighborhood growing up. Kids eventually stopped playing with him and he became an outcast in our neighborhood. He just continued to bully anyone he caught up with, until eventually he found himself no longer the biggest kid in the neighborhood. Eventually, he started getting his ass beat every time he showed up by kids he had bullied over the years. There were always a few kids he could manage to bully but they usually were protected by their friends.

A bully has two possible outcomes in life. They grow up and apologise to everyone the bullied or they grow up to be complete losers.

Gay kids are going to be picked on.
Fat kids are going to be picked on.
Geeky kids are going to be picked on.
Ugly kids are going to be picked on
Poor kids are going to be picked on.
Kids with Braces going to be picked on
Kids with Glasses are going to be picked on
Awkward and Uncoordinated kids are going to be picked on

It is the perseverence through those times that will shape the kids into the people they will become.

Unfortunately, they don't accept what they went through, and try to make sure that it doesn't happen to their children. As a result, children are growing up without any motivation to be more than they are.

Kids that play sports where there is no score kept, or everyone is a winner just for playing.

The gay kid we picked on as a kid grew up to be a famous actor, or a fashion designer, or a musician or a dancer. He may hate how he grew up, but he became a success because he could wait to grow up and be so successful he could leave the peons behind.

The nerdy D&D/computer kid we picked on became an internet millionaire or a computer programmer making 6 figures. He drives a sports car and has a hot asian wife.

The Fat Girl with Braces and Glasses that never got a date and was always teased is now an Attorney will $350 an hour billing. She is incredibly hot. She has a great smile, she got contacts or Lasik surgery. She goes to the gym and you can bounce a quarter off her ass.

The Awkward uncoordinated kid finally grew into his body. He competes in Triathalons. He works out every day and takes Tai-Chi. He has a healthy diet and is in peak physical shape.

The popular girl in school got by on her looks and body and never once used her brain. She is a single mother that drinks too much, smokes too much, and has three kids from at least 2 different fathers. Every man she dates ends up beating her because she is an annoying harpy bitch. She still wears clothes that are made for HS Girls as you can tell by the fact that she is 40 and her clothes say PINK. Her best job was as a receptionist, but that is because she can't make the tips she used to make bartending or working at Hooters

The Jocks and Bullies, for the most part do manual labor, are electricians or plumbers, maybe work in call centers. After the failed out of college and lost their sports scholarship they ended up at the local community college. They were still trying to score HS girls or waitresses.

Now not all of these scenarios are true, but on the whole, the fit a majority of situations.

The trials of your childhood make you who you have become. Only kids that rage against the lot they have been dealt through personal growth have found success. If you laid back and just took it, you deserve what you have become.

It is sad when a kid takes their own life, but it is perseverence through difficult that shapes who you become.

Bullying happens at the workplace too. Take my example.

I am victimized by a senior person in my present company who loves to highlight my work mistakes and poison others against me.

It is all in human nature. The guy just doesn't like me from day one.

If I have the chance, I want to KILL HIM. And put my boot over his face.

Exactly!
I'm a single parent homeschooling too!

1). This was not "bullying"

2). T.N.B.

Quite frankly, much of life is bullying.

Don't know how this little generation of hothouse flowers are going to handle the real world.

No, he's right.

The extreme rhethoric is being used to shut people up. The Libtard Agenda at work. Read the book "Liberal Fascism".

i kinda think bullying has been around a bit longer than those things.

at the cost of your first amendment rights?

Censorship violates my human rights

Things like this will never stay to the point and handle that point, when we are so ready to blow it out of proportion with so much thrown in debris.

The issue at hand is and "Individual" that wanted to make a public act of violence that kills him own self:
For a pay back of retribution and heavy hand to go forth after whom he fingered as the source of his total breaking out in all out destroying violence.

And then wallah.....here it comes...mounted accusations laid upon inanimate objects like toys games.
To the imagery and news of what happened on the news.
To the parents of children.
To the evil children of parents.
To the off guarded security of schools.
To the weapon of choice for the mentally off balanced ones murder of him self. " nothing like wise spotlighted when the murder weapon was a rope in his closet or the tree in the yard."
Because the rope is not an object of high emotional targeting.

If we keep our minds focused on that one who killed his own self and his actions he did.
Then like wise his parents that have to answer for him.

Then we will have this at the point of its actions which is what was done.

Not blowing it out of proportion for all bandwagons to blame blame blame every thing that is in their flaming red foreheads.

That is like treating the entire population with no regards to individual age size or condition with a cure all non OTC drug......
For the ailment of one kind of breakdown in a bodies system.

Wham give them all a load of insulin at this much a pop all at one time.....we got a sugar high over here.
Got get them all now every things that breathers or moves....even the ones who can not move grab them to.


When we blow things out of proportion we have left the point at hand and cast this where it has no place to be.....the population and people in general.

This is great way of never handling things by the thing that needs handling keeping it in focus....instead going red flag bull mad out of line lawless.

Bullying is ABSOLUTELY wrong, and needs to be dealt with by expulsion and prison terms. I'm totally in favor of home schooling for many reasons, not the least of which is avoiding the age segregation of regular school. That said, sex and drugs are good, in context, and need to be experiences available to late teenagers, and especially adults.

The "war on drugs" has made it difficult to get safe and helpful entheogenic and entactogenic drugs, and has triggered the use of all kinds of truly dangerous substances in their place.

Just read the article. The kid just came out from seeing the principal with his Mum, and he was also checked for weapons!

Then he went home, retrieved a gun, came back and shot himself.

Me thinks the principal had something to do with it!

Power corrupts. The kids learn who they may pick on and who they may not.

Kids have been bullied throughout history.


PARENTS:

STOP wrapping your kids in cotton wool and treating them like they are your friends.

Your kids are NOT your friends. They are little people who need your guidance.

You have to be hard to be kind sometimes.

Teach them to be strong and stand up for themselves.

More importantly these days, teach your kids the difference between real life and online life, these boundaries are becoming blurred.

FFS

I feel bad the kid was bullied but wtf. Did he have to kill himself infront of other kids, fucking them up in the head also. Some kids can't handle seeing shit like that and will be scared for life. Selfish but so is everything about killing yourself. Just too young to understand I guess.

How did that turn out... for the bully I mean?

Bullying is endemic in NZ. It's a historic part of "the culture" unfortunately. Sounds like you put a stop to it though Oz.

YOU ARE ALL BIG FUCKING PUSSIES.

BULLYING is always going to happen. You want BIG BROTHER to step in a cure all your ailments for you.

What's next.

THAT GUY STOLE MY GIRLFRIEND - LOCK HIM UP MAKE IT A CRIME.

THAT GUY HAS A BIGGER DICK THAN ME - CHOP IT OFF

THAT GUY IS SMARTER THAN ME - GIVE HIM A LOBOTOMY

THAT GUY MAKES MORE MONEY THAN ME - TAX HIM MORE - OH WAIT YOU ALREADY GOT THAT ONE
THAT GUY IS BETTER LOOKING - MAKE HIM WEAR A MASK

READ HARRISON BERGERON BY KURT VONNEGUT OR WATCH THE MOVIE IF YOU ARE TOO LAZY TO READ 10 PAGES. THAT IS THE FUTURE YOU WANT APPARENTLY.

Its basically I think
1.Pack mentality
2.Power struggles
3.Down right nastiness

Never had patience for bullies..they are usually cowards..

Good people are confused by a society that tells them that they have to treat all children under 18 with kid gloves. Most deal with it by NOT dealing with it.

Meanwhile, kids are left to fend for themselves and some don't have the personal resources to deal with it.

We as a people like to think of ourselves as being "evolved" as a species, when in fact, we are devolving.

Bruce Lee was bullied as a younger kid. Learned Kung Fu and beat the crap out of them.

He should have shot those damn shit kids not himself

kinism don't let strangers near your kids

THIS

Again, and again another indication that the country has decended into living hell...cursed by God for rejection of Him...the world will continue its decent into the pit at an alarming rate taking with it the just and the unjust. Kids and animals are the victims.

I went to a private school. To use this as an alternative to keep your child "safe" from the bad things in public schools is absolutely rediculous. 1/3 of the kids that attended private school with me had been kicked out of public schools and their parents had no choice but to pay for their educations. Therefore exposing the other children to all the ills of the public schools. When I changed over to public schooling I was scared to death until I got there and realized it was a walk in the park compared to the private school experience.
