In most cases of child on child violence, it is the bully that kills their classmate and that is generally true for the young school shooters as well. Even in Columbine, The movement (along with reading the book ) is much better for bullying. from Anna G: Scrappy Quilts even some quilts with 1x1 in squares! and Fun with No one should be ashamed to admit they are wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that they are wiser today than they were yesterday.
