Jag: Social services are a bandaid. At best, they can help someone tolerate the intolerable for a few more years. Second best, they can detect the ones who break before they suicide or get homicidal -- but by that time they ARE broken.

DEbateable, if intergrated with the school they can alleviate allot of problems, give the person someone to talk to and at worst pick them up before they shoot the place up.

Few more years? High school/Junious HIgh/Collage don't go on forever.
