Bullets, Bullying And Bullshit

I don't think there's anyone who hasn't heard about the "crazy kid" who shot a guy dead in school. If you haven't, firstly, you're a big geek, and secondly, here's what happened -

All these people studied in Euro International School. Abhishek, the guy who died, was a big bully who often bullied the guy owning the gun, Akash and his friend, Vilas. Abhishek had bullied them for 3 months till getting shot. On December 10, the two, Akash and Abhishek fought again, and then, Akash decided to fix him. He got the gun to school and hid it in the restroom, challenged the guy during Break, got the gun and shot him. Akash and his pal fired 5 shots between them. They both were 14.
OK, That's Very Freaky. I was 14 until 3 weeks ago and really can't imagine myself being so irritated by anyone as to shoot him(or her). I mean, what the hell? The school didn't notice the bullying, the parents didn't notice anything wrong (which I find strange), and they actually kept a fully loaded gun on their TV trolley! What the hell?
I really can't believe that Akash had been bullied for 3 months to such an extent and his behaviour did not change. Everyone gets bullied, verbally, or physically. The poor guy being pushed to such an extent is weird.

Well, ok, even I didn't know how to handle being "bullied" until last year, when I got some sense. Whenever someone said something mean to me, I got very angry and started hitting, or cried. Both the reactions are very dumb, I know, but I felt bad about even the tiniest of jokes and took everything to the heart, something that no one should ever do. Now, if anyone cracks a joke on me, I laugh along and take it easy, but if it gets too vulgar or abusing, I ignore the person for days on or stare at him as if he's shit, if it can be handled that way.

I searched, and came up with this list of cases of weird violence in schools -

# In West Bengal, a teen stabbed a girl for refusing to marry him.

# I don't get what this means,but I'm quoting it for the benefit of those who do - "... then, there's the case of a Mumbai schoolboy who strangled himself in an apparent asphyxiation fix gone sour." Well, I know what asphyxiation is, but I don't get the line.

# A guy killed his classmate 2 years ago and has recently got a life sentence. (No more information was provided)

# Quoting - "a student of a prominent south Delhi school (who was being constantly bullied) hurled a stone at his tormentor, injuring him seriously." No, I understood what this means well and guessed that they were referring to our dear school. I couldn't remember such an incident, but then vaguely recalled what I'd heard from a senior. This took place after school during some band competition. The guy apparently threw a brick at another fellow, and thanks to this incident, our schools band, which was last, wasn't allowed to perform its last 2 songs. I heard about the incident only cause it stopped our band from playing and winning, and that's what everyone had been actually been worried about. This happened sometime this year only.

# Everyone must have heard about the weirdo who jumped off the A block, cause he was challenged to, and broke a bone or two. (Wah! Poetry without even trying! Wah!). Thankfully, even though we were in the block right opposite (C), i didn't see the guy cause we'd gone for a picnic. The guy had apparently twisted his leg in a weird manner. Ewwww!!!!!
The funny thing is, the bullies, who try to act really coo and behave like bonds, are supposed to do so cause they're insecure. I find that weird, because they seem/ show themselves to be so popular, powerful and great. Also, if you want to know, the Faridabad Juvenile Home,which houses k(ids)riminals, has 55 kids! Ooh, krime is on the high.
