Editing Elliot Rodger (section)

== Life Before the Shooting ==
In his mid-teens, Elliot made a Youtube channel where he would make videos about his life when he felt lonely, sad and depressed. Around this time, the bullying has gotten worse for him as he was left to move from school to school. At the age of 16, Elliot would see a psychiatrist and he admitted that he didn't want to take the medication his doctor gave him. At the age of 18, Elliot completely isolated himself and he did nothing but played online games and made contact with a handful of his online friends. Around his earlier days, he got a driver's license and his own BMW thinking girls would pay attention to him but instead of trying, he would spend his lunch breaks in his car and expect others to speak to him. 

At the age of 19, Elliot moved to Isla Vista where he would attend Santa Barbara City College. In his first moments moving in and living with 2 other men in a private residence, he would often get frustrated with his two roommates. A week after Elliot moved in, the 2 men moved out and another pair of men moved in shortly after. Elliot would get into heated arguments daily and physical altercations on some occasions with his two roommates, and he would often spew out racist remarks to them. But his thoughts about girls has gotten worse. Every time he saw a couple, he would walk away and lock himself in his room, he also threw hot coffee at a couple who were kissing at Starbucks and as a result of all of this, he dropped out of all of his classes completely in 2012. In that same year, he spent over $1300 lottery tickets, but would unfortunately not win the lottery. 

In July 2013, Elliot attended a college party in hopes to talk to lose his virginity but instead he would get ignored, feel enraged at the women there and became intoxicated. While at the party, he would make a half hearted attempt to push one of the women who were standing at the balcony of the house. But instead, he would get pushed off by the men at the party who saw him perform the act. After he was pushed off the balcony, he was beaten up by the same group of men who intervened. Drunk and injured, Elliot left the party but forgot his sunglasses so he accidentally went to a different house believing that it was the house he went to earlier. Instead of finding his sunglasses, he would get into an altercation with the people inside the building before leaving. Sometime after he would go to the hospital and get surgery for his broken leg.
