Psychotic Phil: My original plan was to kill myself at school in front of people but it developed into a homicidal and suicidal rampage...

Have you spoken to your parents and doctor about these urges? If not, I think it would be wise to do so.

One correction, when the Virginia Tech shootings happened they did label Seung Hui Cho as either bipolar or schizophrenic. Or at least that's what I read and heard.

That's what I initially heard and read too, but a lot of people are confused about schizophrenia and violence, psychosis and psychopathological behavior -- it would seem that people leapt to some false conclusions in the early reports. The final report by the Government of Virginia made no mention of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
