Research in psychology and criminology (click here) shows that when a young boy or adolescent attacks classmates, the motives rarely stem from a single cause. Instead, they typically result from a complex mix of psychological, social, and environmental factors:

Bullying, Marginalization, and Humiliation: Many researchers, such as criminologists studying school violence, point to acute feelings of chronic bullying, social rejection, humiliation, or perceived injustice as primary catalysts.

The Desire for Revenge and Glorification: Young males experiencing severe alienation may develop obsessive revenge fantasies, seeking to reclaim power or achieve notoriety (often amplified by real or imagined peer or online audiences).

Mental Health and Emotional Regulation Challenges: Underlying depression, trauma, anger-management issues, or developmental vulnerabilities can impair a youth's ability to cope with stress or interpersonal conflict.

Online Subcultures and Influence: Exposure to toxic online communities, extremist rhetoric, or violent media (such as certain segments of the "manosphere" or incel/hate forums) can desensitize young people or validate aggression as a means of retaliation.

Access to Firearms or Weapons: The physical capacity to carry out a deadly attack almost always relies on the easy availability of unsecured firearms or lethal weapons in the home or environment.
