We can tell them that it may seem harmless to join the crowd in teasing the gay kid, or laughing at the nerd who pissed his pants in science lab, but ask yourself: "does his dad have an assault rifle with an extended capacity magazine?".

If so, it may not matter if "everyone else is doing it".

Stop the bullying.

On edit:
A 16 year old young man hung himself in my hometown last week because he was an outed gay. He didn't make the national news because he didn't take anyone else with him.
