I saw a psychologist talking about the mentality of suicide bombers on TV some years ago, and the common denominator he drew wasn’t religion or poverty or so forth, but rather that they tend to live in areas of the world that have been forcibly occupied by other people. That occupation makes people feel desperate, they do crazy shit. Happens in the Middle East all the time, happened in Vietnam, and it’s even evident in police handling of Occupy protestors.

In American schools, particularly American public schools, there’s a different-but-similar dynamic. You’re forced to go there, you’re forced to go through their particular set of indoctrination (their way of educating, and their societal pressure to do it or be nothing; hell, even President Obama said that “if you drop out of school, you’re letting down your country a year or two ago), there’s really no way to get away from bullies (either on the staff or in the student body) and for the most part, your parents don’t wanna hear it because they’re dealing with enough trying to get through their respective days. That kind of mental and social claustrophobia breeds the same kind of desperate thinking.

Honestly, every time I see one of these terrible things happen, it’s the first thing I think of: the suicide bomber mentality.
