So i just flipped on the news and apparently a 15 year old girl shot herself in the head in a highschool bathroom here in Houston.

A couple of weeks ago some guy shot himself and a co-worker at NASA.

I'm sure this won't make national news and im also sure that other places have such happenings that i never hear about.

I mean is this stuff happening all the time or has it really been just recently that this has all been going down?



Post any school shootings that have happened near you recently i suppose.

    Dude with a sniper rifle camped out on the top of a tower here at UT in '69. That's about all I can think of

    We had a sniper go on a rampage in DC my senior year of high school. First shooting was 5 minutes from my high school -- while classes were in session.

    They seem to do a lot of people searching and drug-sniffing dogging at the high schools in my area. The majority of the shootings here appear to take place on the streets and not in the schools.

    Well my question is, why did this girl decide she needed to go to school to blow her brains out in the bathroom?

    I mean, i guess she was trying to make a statement or something, though thus far there has been no suicide note. Even then if she WAS trying to make a statement, why not in a more public setting than alone in a highschool bathroom?

    What a let down....

    Mayhap you should read the news story when it comes out? Kids and fucking stupid, that's my guess for why she did it.

    luckily, although i grew up in a rougher part of L.A., I lived near a major intersection where nothing aside from car accidents really happened. all the shootings were up the street

    Well clearly.

    What i'm curious about is the thought process behind it, i mean she obviously got up that morning, got dressed for school, packed her gun, went to at least 2 or 3 classes and then, all of a sudden, decided "well guess its that time," asked to be excused to the restroom and BLAM.

    Why not just do it before school.

    During high school (3 years), we had:

    One kid blow his head open at lunch
    two hang themselves at home (separately)
    drug-related rollover - 3 dead, driver lived. Later he offed himself out of guilt
    4 deaths due to alcohol poisoning
    And one kid (a good friend) just up and died in the middle of a track meet. Heart just stopped.

    Not a lot of violent crime that I hear about in my area but we had a short rash of kidnappings/disapearences of young college aged women in my area about four years ago. That had people on edge...then there was the panty thief...

    But people shooting themselves...isn't all that uncommon...unfortunately.

    im not suprised at people shooting other people, where i used to live that shit happened all the time.

    but lately it seems that people have gone public with their murders/suicides more so than usual.

    You don't need a suicide note to figure out that her statement was 'school sucks.'

    Last year me & some friends were driving around down by the coast and my one buddy was drinking out of the bottle in the back seat, and he spilled some on my shoulder so I turned around real quick to yell at him to knock it off, when I heard a thump and the car jerked pretty hard. I stopped the car and we all got out and I looked at the hood, it was all dented in, and there was some blood on the hood, so I figured we must have hit a dog or something because a deer would have gone through the windshield on this car.

    My girlfriend at the time went around behind the car to see if she could find what we hit and she starts screaming, the rest of us run over and oh my god I still remember how he was lying there all crumpled up on the pavement, some old sailor-looking guy. he wasn't breathing, at last it didn't seem like he was, and we were all scared and we panicked. We put him in the trunk, took him down to the docks and dumped him into the water. We figured the crabs would eat him or he'd wash up and they'd never find out that it was us, but that was exactly one year ago today and I got this note in the mail......

    Yeah she definately didn't get much of a bang for her buck (harhar).

    Just school closed for the day and they were like " oh some mexican kid offed herself in the bathroom" on the news.

    My brother shot himself when I was 10. Almost 15 years later, our real mother is still trying to kill herself because of it (among other things).

    Maybe it's wrong, but anymore I almost want to tell her to just get it over with. Years and years of drug and alcohol abuse has rendered her pretty much a useless husk.
