My over a decade long therapeutic history, scars and damage to sensory organs say differently. You're right about the shootings though. Since the bullying at my schools was so bad I can guarantee there would have been at least one shooting if it was in the US. Back then I would've probably celebrated the idea even, I was saddened when an actual shooting happened somewhere because it wasn't at my school, but specifically not because it was a shooting (just to give you an idea how bad the bullying was).
Heard the US schools got a really weird sports team thingy going. Never fully got that; there's no comparable culture over here. Of course schools love to work with Sports Clubs whenever possible, they're not "the same" though (and it's about the sport itself, very rarely the Clubs' identity). There definitely aren't state- or nationwide sport tournaments organized around school teams in the same fashion the US celebrates it.
