I was actually influenced to start this thread by watching TV believe it or not. There was this show about true stories and how this young american boy was bullied at school. No one liked him because he wasnt as "cool" as the rest and because he didnt dress as "cool" as everyone else. The girls made fun of him because they thought he was "ugly" and everyone else made fun of him because he was overweight. This boy was very intellegent. He was always at the top of his class and he was a very religious person to! BUT WHAT MADE HIM ATTEMPT TO BOMB HIS SCHOOL and KILL EVERYONE IN HIS SCHOOL?????

He kept all his anger and sadness inside and never spoke of his problems to anyone. Secretely in the basement of his house he was making bombs and on his computer he was writting down the steps he would take to "finish off" everyone at his school.

Then one day he goes to school and his face is so pale! The only person who did talk to him noticed that there was something wrong and that he was carrying a very large bag. He told her that he was going to kill himself and kill everyone and that he was sorry for being ugly and fat and not as cool as the other kids.
She managed to talk him out of it and she told the teachers who informed the security guards working at the school.
The police came and the boy handed himself in as GUILTY for attempted murder. If this girl hadnt of been there he would have taken the life of almost 600 students and 30 staff members!

When questioned "What made you want to do this?" his response was "bullying!"

So people, what can we do to help prevent this from happening to our friends, our brothers and sisters, our neighbours, and ourselves? How can we make sure that there arent children out there so sick of life that they want to kill themselves and everyone else? How can we educate the people who bully others on correct morals???
Does it happen in omani schools???

Background of this boy:
*Parents were always fighting
*dad abused his son - VERBALLY
*Boy was diagnosed with DEPRESSION at age 12
*Boy never had opportunity to talk to anyone about his feelings because he felt he couldnt trust anyone

AND NOW:
This boy has been sentenced to 15 years in jail without parol!

What an idiot......Why did he tell her that he was going to bomb the school..... he could've set the bomb to explode in 5 minutes then he could talk to the girl.
anywayz I think 15 years is too harsh

The boy was a victim of certain social problems, which is not new in a society like America. The court should have taken in consideration the motives behind his action.

I don think that we have such a behavior here in our schools… may be not in a wide range that a student wants to bomb his/her school,,, may be students want to explode their schools but definitely for other reasons ..... :)

Qais i think 15 years is a little bit toooo harsh as well, however it could have been LIFE if he had taken anyones life or even the death penalty so i guess 15 years is not that bad after all.

I agree with Qoloob, 15 years is to harsh on the kid, i bet thats the last thing je needs right now. They should have but him in an institution and proberbly provided phsycological help.

I really, pitty the student who go around bullying others. They r the one with problems!!! ego problems.
