The support for him sickens me really, for the older members how about if it was your child that got his head beaten in? You wouldn't be defending him then. If he could have been pushed to such a point by school children then he should never have set foot in a classroom alltogether or removed himself from the situation to calm down. At the end of the day it's a 14 YEAR OLD lad by saying he started it or had it coming you're condoning the fact he nearly got beaten to death whether you want to or not.

Chewy's got a good point, if it was the opposite way round then the student would be crucified by the press and hated because in today's world the media demonises youth, it's shocking and interesting if you ever get the chance to look into it but ultimately it's sad and terrifying how much the youth of today are hated due to media pressure. I remember looking into it when I was researching something called the Magic Bullet Theory when I did Media, fascinating stuff although it's depressing how much hate comes from it, some of the responses towards children are shocking because of it.
