Wow, right on. As a high-school sophomore, I can definetly relate to this. I attend a high school where cliques are the norm, and if you are not in one, you are nobody. I probably fit into more than half of the listed criteria, yet I have no violent, or malicious thoughts. People often ask me, "Are you going to bring sawed-off shotguns and grenades to school and kill us?". I would be interested to see how many of these types of students have ever gotten into a fight, or how many have provoked a fight. What kind of psychoanalysis is this that the FBI has done? Can we really conclude that geeks=killers??? I dont think so! Of course every school has a handfull of geeks, nerds, and dorks. But how many of them act out violently? How many jocks act out violently? Are the "geeks" the ones getting drunk, and beating up people? Aren't the jocks the ones that generally cause problems like this in a high school? Shouldn't the government be pushing student support type programs? I think that teachers especially need to be able to reach out to students on an emotional level. High school can be very hard academically, socially, and especially emotionally. Students often need someone just to talk to. When things are going rough, students can supress all of their feelings inside. Teachers need to be able to help students make sense out of their confusion. I have teachers that are so distant, that you cannot talk to them about anything other than what directly relates to the class that they teach. What kind of support is that?
