The kid who shot everyone clearly had no coping skills. His response to being picked on was extreme because he hadn't learned another way.
I don't even think the kid was bullied to any extreme extent. By all accounts, he was a psychotic and violent kid that people avoided because he was scary. Turning him into some decent kid who was just bullied too much is irresponsible, I think.
Remember those Columbine kids? The story was that they were bullied, and finally snapped. That was complete bullshit, it turned out that the kids weren't bullied at all. They were treated fine, and had friends.
One of them was completely sociopathic, and was able to convince the other one to go along with his insane plan. That's all. No bullying caused that, it was just a person with severe mental problems that wanted to kill people.
