Kids at Columbine weren't bullied, they were actually good students, and fairly popular.

All right, I concede this point.
On another note, though, it's said that Harris(1/2 of the perps in the Columbine shooting) was a psychopath.
However, the Virginia Tech shooter was bullied.

So this is about suicide huh? The world is now pathetic. People want to kill themselves instead of just fix their own problems. Why???

I concede this point however I feel that his experience with insanity had more to do with innate psychological issues rather than, the bullying he underwent.


Although note that I'm not saying that bullying had nothing to do with the situation.

theres nothing anyone can do about bullying, the only people who can stop bullying is the bullies themselves

Nope, and the best part is that teachers and adults don't do squat. They think you're over exagerating and such untill you have 10 kids step and say there's a bully problem unless a fight breaks out. I felt invisible throughout high school I was bullied so bad. And when you're a small, friendless kid with the adults not doing anything about it, you feel pretty powerless.

Why not have nerds as friends? Get enough and you can outnumber the bullies. Its what I do.

You might be right, but we can try to reduce the problem to a minimum.

Yeah can't tell you how many times I heard "kids will be kids" or "that's just how kids behave sometimes", or my favorite after being grouped with them for say a class project "if their doing that then their not your friends, and you should just get away from them". Seriously facaepalm became a meme just for situations like that.

What if you don't get along with the "cooler" kids?

I think that it is wonderful to try and stop bullying and all, but it won't work, there will still be bullies

Bullies will pick on someone no matter what... so this doesnt work. What your talking about is suppressing personality traits that others in the social circles find weird and fitting in. My brother put on a scottish accent and fitted in at school. I didnt, kept my english accent and got bullied.
