I was just being a grammar Nazi. Being drunk on Japanese beer and hate crime does that.

I fail to see how this incident is the fault of the state of the world.

Obviously, the kid was emotionally unstable. Perhaps he didn't show outward signs of it. Perhaps he did, and it was ignored or written off (more likely). The fact of the matter is, no one forced him to do this. His parents, the school, the media, whatever, nothing but himself told him to do this.

If only,
I know a guy who was like that in High School. He was picked on and victimized which filled him with a vengeance that wouldn’t subside. It wasn’t really his parents, although with the military background he was more dignified than most which made him vulnerable to their attacks they seemed like kind people. I did what I could to calm him taking him serious and assuring him they weren’t worth it. In the end he finally grew out of it.
I did my best to defend those sort of people in highschool. It earned me a reputation I wasn’t proud of because what I was mainly doing was picking fights with entire groups of bullies. Still people back of when I step up to them even know in reality I’m actually quite timid by nature. Now I’m the sort of person that believes violence isn’t the only path but now when I think back to how it was then I know those sort of people never listened to reason only to a power above their own.

What the boy did was stupid, but in reality he just needed a good friend or someone who would listen to him.

those friends he really must have relied on or was close to them. I blame them for just stabbing him one way through the chest by warning everyone.

i mean i don't like the fact, but to work on what is going through his mind can be one of the most difficult tasks. He had strong ambitions and trust that was developed through time of his mates just laughing with the fact and not taking it seriously before they found it to be more serious than what they had figured and just left him there to take the full blame.

i would say is he could not take the humiliation and anger from his own self for that matter and he didn't want to know what the future now lay for him. So he ended his future with a bullet.

it is a sad way to just end it all but i think the moral comes down to he would rather die than live to see his entire life ruined by the atttempt of his failure in realising the simple truth and accepting the humiliation of a large body of people.

who can you trust in this time of age? it is the information age after all? friends can easily stab you in the back with a blink of an alert eye. It is all about knowledge and power, having power stripped from you is a very bad thing. this is just my rantings I suppose but i've known this stuff happening quite a long time.

Not many of us are truly trained in the dark psychology and persuasive techniques that are supposed to be a part of life. Nobody has gotten the task to truly assess the situations that arise within the conflict of bodies. Okay, not everybody but some have I suppose...

anyway I pity this child, some things are just too difficult to handle for such a young mind and because he was so engrossed with his own ambitions that it killed him. Oh well it doesn't really matter... I mean it isn't the first time it has happened...

So his friends are in the WRONG for doing the RIGHT thing? I don't get it.

that is what he is thinking I assume.
i was speaking based off on what was probably going through his mind. believe me there is alot of time between the act of betrayal and getting caught.

i don't think it was wrong for them to warn, it is just that his mind was rushing past with all the negative sides.
