my stream of consiousness

Every time a school shooting is perpetrated by a student, there is this discussion around how they were ‘driven’ to this point by bullying and loneliness due to their snotty peers. The truth is that their peers had every fucking reason to want to stay the hell away from them and often that ‘bullying’ was telling the teachers and other students about the jaw-droppingly violent and bigoted shit the kid was saying. The awkward gay kid with no friends who is intensely bullied is not the kid shooting up the school, the sweet nerd with a heart of gold no one has seen yet is not the kid shooting up the school. It is the angry, vengeful, hate-filled kid who has outcast himself from his peers by terrifying the fuck out of them. There were signs. There were so many signs. But every authority figure is afraid to ‘ruin a young boy’s life’ by intervening and fucking doing something.

I think one of the most damaging ideologies towards children is the conviction that having children isn’t a calling but a moral obligation.

Not to be a crazy radical or anything, but children deserve to be deeply wanted by their parents.
