This is a problem that is not talked about in American society. Within our school system, students are often isolated and targeted for bullying. Quite often these students group with other students that have been targeted in a similar fashion.

Everything I am hearing in the media indicates that the 'Trench Coat Mafia' of Columbine High School were just such a group. If these same kids had met under any different circumstances, they might not have ever become friends.

I have brought this subject up with other people since the shootings and their reactions were the same. Many kids are bullied while they're in school, but they don't pack guns and build bombs to use against their fellow classmates.

The circumstances in this case cannot be narrowed to just one thing. The problems they had in school with bullying probably helped to fuel other problems they were having, whether at home or elsewhere.
