There's no good or bad way to die in a tragedy, but dying in a mass shooting, at 15 years old, while you're at school to learn, it's a fucking sad and unnecessary death.

On a very personal note, when I was in highschool, I was struggling with heavy social anxiety and didnt have much friends, I was having pretty dark thoughts sometimes and was daydreaming about hurting/fighting/killing all the other kids I didnt like, read all the cool ones. I evacuated my anger with heavy metal music, that probably saved me in some ways (thanks Pantera and Sepultura!) So everytime I see mass shooting in school like this, i feel a little bit weird. What if this... what if that... ... And at that time I didnt know anything about mass shooting in schools, Columbine happen in 1999 and I finished highschool in 96 i think. What if i had internet back then and kept reading about mass shooting all day long? Honestly I dont think I would have done anything, but... Who knows. This is a very complex matter.- You can't play "what if's" like that Benn. Internet or not, you found positive outlets and worked your shit out....like a normal, well adjusted human being.GM278

- daydreaming as a moody teenager is not same as doing anythinglowimpakt
- well, if you had internet back then and were super pissed, to get to the point where you go through with a mass shouting takes some extreme mental breakdownshapesalad
- Would you even have had access to a gun, Benn? Most Canadian homes don't have them easily available for youth to seize the opportunity.ETM
