Bullying with regards to what? Him trying to to turn into a girl? He was a boy at 15. Started wearing dresses and turned. Think any adults who encouraged that may be to blame or is this just new normal accepted behavior? Think teachers there disciplined kids who may have scratched their heads over it? Both our countries are now coddling these types and punishing kids and adults for rebelling against it. Wanna guess the teachers and admins were enforcing his fantasy by punishing anyone who didn't call him her?
So yeah the bullying is understandable. The shooting is not.
I am as always saddened by news like this. It is a tragedy for all involved.
You probably witnessed bullying in school....I know I did, I learned to fight as a result of bullying....we were farm kids in an urban school....
Some people take longer to reach their boiling point.....I know there will be more of an investigation and there is no excuse to what happened but there are mitigating circumstances that led up to it.....
I would guarantee there were roles to play by the parents, teachers, other students and the shooter themselves that brought this to the very sad conclusion it came to.....
Canada has very robust gun laws and controls, how did this shooter get their hands on a firearm will be one question that will need to be answered....

Remember at one point in both our histories, children of mixed race were relentlessly bullied, not to mention children of other races......a trans person is no different in my opinion, they were born with a brain that isn't in the right body......people don't choose to be a transgender, it's not a trend, it's not a sickness, it's the way they were born.....
Why do many of them commit suicide? Because in many cases they can't adapt, people want to fit in and they feel they don't, they aren't accepted by females or males....add in the normal teenage troubles and this is magnified by a huge margin.....
The warning signs must have been there but everyone either ignored them or overlooked them...
