Department of Justice Study

Oct 2011 study had four major conclusions Teenagers say revenge is the strongest motivation for school shootings. 87% said shootings are motivated by a desire to "get back at those who have hurt them." 86% said, "other kids picking on them, making fun of them or bullying them." This causes teenagers to turn to lethal violence in the schools.
