Yeah, it's terrible!

I grew up back in the 80s and 90s and we never had those kinds of drills. I don't even remember fire drills (or maybe my school was just being cheap lol!).

I miss the days when kids would have problems, they'd fight it out in the yard, bare knuckled. Whether you're a bully or a good kid, you either managed to talk things out or you managed to assert yourself on the bullies to make them stop picking on you. Nowadays, if somebody has a problem, they can just grab a gun and start shooting innocent people at school or in public.

I think part of the reason for this is how people are being taught to just not fight back when being bullied. I keep hearing stories nowadays where if a bullied kid fights back, he gets the same punishment as the bully. I think that's so unfair and it teaches people that fighting back is just as bad as being a bully. It's so frustrating. You suddenly end up thinking that there's no justice in this world, so you get deeper into a very dark place in your mind until you get pushed into the idea that "If I can't be happy, if I can't fight back, if only certain people can be normal and happy, then I'll just go ahead and kill random people!" Definitely a messed up way of thinking if the person is sane, definitely extreme if they had mental issues right at the very beginning.

I really believe that it's important to allow people to defend themselves and fight back against bullies. The more you try to turn them into cowering sheep, the more the natural human instinct to fight back becomes violent. Those who can't control the rage within them will have great potential to become mass killers. We don't want a society of victims who either end up dead or becoming criminals themselves, we need to bring back a society that can defend itself without fear of being treated the same way as the bully or the criminal.
