"They didn't blow up their school but they did bring to stark light a problem that's plagued schools across the world for generations: School is often an violently unhappy place for many students, regardless of what sort of background they come from. Social manipulation and peer abuse - violent and non-violent - continues, but after the shootings at Columbine High School things have changed and continue to change. It's just a shame so many bad things had to happen at once in order for the world to recognize the time had come for those changes to be made."

Thirteen years later, and schools are still violently unhappy, for a bevy of reasons we refuse to acknowledge.
