I especially like the ideas about Jeff having a mental illness and making the plot line a bit more realistic. And I forget who said it, but making the bullies have knives instead of guns seems way more realistic, to me, anyways. Mental Illness is cliche and A CRUEL ONE AT THAT!!! Mentally Ill people are not more prone to violence than most people!!

Read my blog on Cliches, where I go over WHY using Mental Illness as an excuse is a very lazy thing to do, as most writers use it as an excuse to not give the killer motives.
