Kidwikked, Kidwikked, Kidwikked. Let's talk here. You're right, probably 98%, if not more, of us were at some point picked on in school. But you obviously don't TOTALLY know where the Columbine boys were coming from, otherwise you'd do what they did. You also can't say with any certainty that the music they listened to didn't influence them, or the other kid. You are not them so you can't say how what they hear might affect them. There is a huge body of evidence that indicates the effect music can have on emotions. Unfortunately there are people who are tettering on the edge of something terrible, and it might only take a song or a movie or a news report or one more punch from a bully to send that person over the edge.

So maybe you're stong enough to resist being goaded into doing some things in that manner, but everyone isn't as strong as you are. When you get a little older, you'll realize that. Sit down sometime and talk to some old people (I mean over 30 or so at least) If you can get them talking, you can learn a lot, especially about what you have to face later on (if you make it). I have no intention of being blind-sided by something like a mid-life crisis, a failed marriage or the death of a close friend or family member, I talk to people who have already been there.
