We see so many of these incidents, and they are predominantly "white kids"... it may be time for people to learn from the history of black people. Who were "bullied for 100's of years" and that "bullying was followed by white violence upon and against black people, covering anything up to and including murder, and then humiliating the body after they'd killed a black person...
But ... still black people, not black kids nor black adults resorted to killing themselves. (there's much to be learned within that truth)
Maybe the history of white people for centuries and decades pushing and teaching an ideology that "white people are to be praised and pandered to, and never ridiculed about anything, may have something to do with the inability to withstand bullying and taunting, because its no longer a society that promotes the fiction that being white was some select superior thing.
Yes, there have been black kids as well who have succumb to bullying, but back in earlier times, black kids did not kill themselves behind bullying and people taunting or even the threat and the actual acts of violence upon and against them.
Today, there is not enough "teaching of self value" as a person based on whats inside the heart and mind and soul.... ( black people had a history of teaching the kids to value themselves as a person regardless of the bullying, harassment, and even the threat and attacks of violence, and the many incessant acts of discrimination upon and against them.) Maybe white people need to learn from that... and start teaching their kids some of that.
Today.. we have young people who "plot and carry out plots to kill their classmates" if they are not some popular figure or given some accolades by other kids, or if they don't have the material things or fit into some clique. Sadly, many are not taught to appreciate themselves far and beyond the lack of such things. So, today, we have kids and adults too, who go kill what they envy, and what they resent because it does not pander to them. We have men killing women, and women doing things including killing men, because /he/she does not patronize his/her ego or validate him/her with some nature of endorsements of some type, until he/she can't figure out who he/she is, without some external validation.
Maybe School should go back to focusing on 'Cultural Building Programming" instead of trying to turn everyone into a S.T.E.M. Addict. And pushing every kind of "external measuring criterion" such as , who'd got what gadget, or what clothes, or what places they live, or what place they go, and etc....
Schools NO LONGER focus on Building a Well Rounded Individual... Home and Families, trying to live some image scrip like a TV Commercial, absorbs their time trying to pay for an "external imagery and material measured life", until people don't have time to talk to their kids about, who they are as an "individual" minus material measurements and popularity games. Even now, a kid is considered a disruptor if they ask the "who" what, when, where and how, in the classrooms. because everything is about "teaching to the test"... rather than teaching to truly educate.
There are many who don't know how to adjust when they are out of school and no longer have their "popularity circle" or get the accolades for some material gadgets, or what label is on their clothes, or what group antic's they can get accolades for.
This tragic madness is beyond the point that we need to change as a society, when we have mothers killing her children, fathers killing off the whole family and people going on rampages shooting up innocent people... and many times it because people don't make friends to be friends, they measure by monetary or material measure before they even attempt friendship, and when people can't meet the monetary status measurements, or the material measure they think their life is meaningless.. because they never truly developed "internal sense of self worth".
The Bible is a great book that helps people learn how to respect and appreciate themselves, and how to develop and places a mindset of values that is not based on money and material things, and not placed on false pride built upon fictions of popularity... one does not have to claim any religion, to read and gain the wisdom's the Bible has to offer.
Life no longer has the history of segregationist madness where white people could get an ego lift behind, pushing some black person down or denigrating some black person. Life no longer has a system where black people had to patronize white people so as to help white people feel they were somebody.
But white among white.. have always been "caught in the material measure of each other, or the money measure of each other"... but before, people had a foundation to connect to which was biblical learning of principles and values that they could turn to, to get focus on themselves as having a value in the eyes of God. Sadly, that no longer is as common place as it once was.
Now days, there is so much focus on "prosperity ministry" and so much "bigotry and racial madness within some ministry" until... even that avenue of people gaining and learning about the value of themselves as a living being is no longer common place. That system is now so distant in so many families... that it's no wonder we have escalating tragedies mounting by the days.
