Either that or they'll kill everyone they see in a flurry of bullets.

I absolutely believe that conflict builds character, and most of my personality has been molded by my grade school experiences. I don't take shit from bullies, and try and defend those who are getting ganged up on. You fight for what is yours, and for what it right. All lessons learned on the playground, as strange of a concept that is. I can't believe how much of that trival crap affected my character and personality.
And my kids, and your kids and most everyone's kids will also have to go through it and learn in their own way, growing up can be tough. My point is this, if I can give my kid one thing less to worry about, why wouldn't I do it? Why pour it on? To build extra character? To see if he/she can hack it? This is my kid, don't I wan't to protect them as much as I can?
And though you were halfway kidding, I bet that most of the serial killers and whatnot were probably picked on at school and are forever trying to make others pay for that.
Anyway, just something to consider.
