There have always been cool kids, shunned kids, bullies, and the bullied. The thing is that these things are easy to spot in hindsight. But should his "red flags' have been that noticeable in order to stand out above normal high school social dynamics? Im not saying this couldn't have been prevented but I just think its harder to identify who's going top snap and who's not in advance. It may seem obvious after the fact but not so easily diagnosed and prevented
I think one of the things that exacerbates the pain of being bullied is the shameless perpetual masturbatory talk from school authorities about "ending bullying" while they blatantly turn a blind eye to it in practice.
Thankfully my sons are not subject to it but I've seen other kids lives wrecked by teachers that endlessly bleat about ending bullying and when witnessing it in the schoolyard merely shrug and go back to their phones.
This is absolutely a side-effect of the extreme gynocentrism that has overtaken academia. As we know, women equate talking about a problem with that problem actually
being solved. A sad holdover from their primitive biology which drives them to complain about shit so that men will fix it, except without men (or at least only cucks who are forbidden to act) the problems continue to exist despite pleas of "didn't we talk about this already!?"
As someone who existed in the lower rungs of the high school power structures during my entry years I can say that 20+ years ago there was at least
a sense of reality in dealing with bullies. It was a shit life, but at least you could quantify it. None of the teachers gave a shit but that was life. You learned to accept it or fight back.
Currently kids are suffering under the
anti-reality effect of enforced delusion where teachers will not simply ignore bullying, they will bleat endlessly about how it's not tolerated even while it's happening directly under their noses.
It's one thing to suffer it, but it's another entirely for the cult of authority to signal great virtue regarding their protectorship over you
while simultaneously ignoring your suffering. Kids more than adults (and teenagers more than kids) need to make sense of the world, and "we will protect you">
"you're not protecting me">"we, the sainted, have protected you,
you're welcome" is the kind of thing that will snap a teen's wiring.
Long story short. It's rarely the tough reality that sends you off the deep end. It's having to incorporate everyone else's delusions into that reality that does your head in, particularly when the lunatics are in all the positions of authority.
