In reply to the discussion: 15 yr old WI school shooter knew how to handle a weapon & her manifesto posted. [View all]SergeStorms
(20,539 posts)63. It sounds as if......
most, if not all, of the abuse was emotional. Teenagers are extremely susceptible to emotional abuse, both by their peers, and their parents. After reading the so-called "manifesto" I see a very sad, emotionally abused and neglected young girl. It brought tears to my eyes reading it.
It appears she was getting some sort of therapy, but for how long or to what degree, isn't known.
Another young person who has fallen through the cracks and sees nothing but gloom and doom in their future. There's far, far too many of them in our present society. It breaks my heart. 😢

Decent gun laws wouldn't have allowed her unsupervised access in the first place.

If she was getting therapy for depression, she might have also been given anti-depressants

I know. Odd, though. Twisting things into fantasies that allow one to feel superior is a strange hobby.
