Less are reporting violent threats but more are actually reporting being bullied. I'm sorry but while we see these violent results more thanks to the media and there are more major incidents violent crime and murder are both down in schools. Lest us not forget that up here in Michigan way back in 1927 we had the most violent school massacre thanks to an idiot and a bomb. I'm not trying to argue but I feel it's arrogant of us to think that we live in a time where the worst of everything is happening. Yes some reports go unreported but why on Earth would more have been reported 30, 40, or 50 years ago? If anything thanks to global media we see or read about more of them today. How many people in Spokane, Washington do you think heard about the Bath, MI massacre? Today people all around the world would be reading about it.
