He was clearly mentally   disturbed, but one thing leaps out his notes and videos. He felt intensely   bullied as a child, and was determined to&nbsp;strike back.According to a former   colleague of Wellington,   he was an extremely shy person. Even at social events showed distance, poor   relationships with friends,"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“I hope this serves as a   lesson, especially to those school officers who stood by with their arms   crossed as students were being attacked, humiliated, ridiculed and who were   being disrespected.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Wellington&nbsp;videotaped himself saying only days before last week’s massacre   in Rio de Janeiro.   But what do we know about bullying?Bullying&nbsp;is a physical or psychological violence, intentional and   repeated, with the aim of intimidating and assaulting a&nbsp;fellow&nbsp;incapable   of defending himself.
"The fight that many   brothers in the past have died for and that I will die for is not exclusively   because of what is known as bullying. Our fight is against cruel, cowardly   people who take advantage of kindness, innocence and weakness&nbsp;of people unable to defend themselves."Wellington&nbsp;killed himself after being injured by a police officer's bullet.   The mass shooting was a tragedy in Brazil, where school shootings   are rare.(This text was adapted by Ellen C.
