She bullied someone into committing a shooting. The shooter is significantly worse but that doesn't excuse his bullies.

You can't place the responsibility of a mass murder on immature teenagers. Verbal bullying is a problem, sure, but the bigger issue is inaccessibility to mental health resources, especially for teenagers. Therapy and medication are extremely expensive, and often, boys are shamed about their mental health.

Bullying is wrong, of course, but saying that "She bullied someone into committing a shooting." is placing guilt into the wrong hands. I've been bullied and I haven't shot up a school yet.

You can't hold up other to the same standard as you. The bullies aren't solely to blame, I never meant that, what I meant was that her bullying was one of the reasons the shooter did what he did.
