Armed school guards to prevent extreme bullying? *may trigger*

I was not aware of that.

i was also not aware that they had armed guards there.
but i did hear that they (the shooters) were bullied, sometime, before the whole thing happened.

Armed guards help keep children safe from outside threats, like kidnappers or terrorists. But they do not prevent, nor is it usually their job to do so, conflicts and problems between the children themselves.

You know, I am from Russia, where, since the attack on School #1 in Beslan in 2004 by terrorists, most schools have heavily-armed guards


This does not stop bullying in the schools though
