It's hard to play the 'years of bullying' card when there's a good chance that every person he shot didn't even know his name yet.
This is just my sense -- most mass shooters feel "bullied/wronged," though. IMO he would have noticed after only a day or two how others at a new school responded to his presence. He may have felt ignored or even excluded very quickly. (I am not blaming anyone but just saying I think it could only take a day or two to feel that way.)
Maybe- he wasn't getting noticed in the way he wanted. And as a teenager, he couldn't process it beyond that, couldn't see his own role in it and couldn't see a way it could change for the better.
