this song is about school shootings, but that's not all it's about. little suzy didn't have any respect for herself. johnny, didn't fit in so he killed himself. it's about the tradgedies that youth today face. not just shootings, rape, and suicide. it's a wake up call. personally i love this song because i can relate to it. i know how hard it is not to fit in, and it sucks. nobody i know, has any clue how many times, and how close i've come to committing suicide. it's hard to be an outsider, but you get used to it, eventually. this song is saying that no matter who or what we blame, where we lay the fault, the pain of all these tragedies will still be there.
@medusa Well put!! No matter who or what we blame where we lay the fault...because all adults were once teenagers too. There are parents and others who need to help mentor teens and pay attention to them, but these teens also need to be taught how to handle themselves and know they are not alone and that growing up is tough but it is temporary and how others did it and worked through their own personal struggles. They also need to learn to take accountability in order to learn to become strong.
