The father of the teen accused of fatally shooting 10 people at a Texas high school last week says his son was a "good boy" who was a victim of bullying.
Antonios Pagourtzis told the Wall Street Journal his son, Dimitrios, was "mistreated" at Santa Fe High School where the teen opened fire Friday, killing eight students and two teachers.

I’m willing to bet this kid was on some type of SSRI/seratonin reuptake inhibitor, or some drug for ADHD, or something else.
Seems to be a correlation with depression/prescription drugs but maybe that’s just me.
Bully’s have been around as long as there have been people.
Maybe we are all looking in the wrong place on this issue.

I think there is a dual problem.
Kids aren't taught how to cope with criticism, and we also have real bullying issues.
In this case, I'm not fully sure where the line should be drawn. If he was harassing the girl even though she had rejected him, it doesn't sound like he was being bullied on that front but instead couldn't cope with rejection from a crush. In that case, she had complained to several sources and nothing had been done.
You might say she was the one being bullied by him.
What was needed was for someone to take him aside and explain to him that she was just not interested before she got the point of handling it herself by humiliating him.
