US school Bloodbaths: What's wrong with the kids?

Do killer kids finds the education system too burdensome or is their injured psyche responsible for increasing school massacres across USA?

Is there a pattern here? What are these shootings telling us? As individuals and society, are we failing our youth? The incidents taking place in the US schools raises a lot of questions and sadly, each time they remain unanswered.

Seems to me, we no longer see the signals or read the signs, but blindly await for the explosions to happen. We fail to spot the anger, fears, frustrations and the wounded ego simmering among the young. Many young people adapt, others find acceptable escapes, still others desensitize their injured psyche, and some just blow a fuse. Are we failing them - a distressed youth lacking all support. We ourselves are no longer sensitive enough, aware enough or perhaps concerned enough.

I am scared about American teenagers who live dangerously, in a culture heavily influenced by guns. The Foss High School shooting is one of the several recent tragedies that American teens had to suffer pointlessly. However, saying it pointless would mean to directly criminalize the culprit without looking for the reason that provoked him to do the awful crime.

Why does this keep happening?

For a country that holds protection of its citizens as a top priority, the right to bear arms just runs contradictory. Until the US government denies this right to its citizens to bear arms against its own people then sadly this will not be the last incident where firearms are involved. You surely cannot shoot anyone if you do not have a gun.

These are major signs of a society on a decline but the current administration is more worried about passing its social security proposals and allocating more money into a war with no end. Sadly, America’s politicians will ignore this and make no effort to control guns; they’ll probably blame it on movies or games. More children will be shot and the NRA will claim, “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people”. Very sad but very true.

>>>You surely cannot shoot anyone if you do not have a gun.

Do you think that even if the US govt. bans the right to bear arms, such incidents won\’t happen? They will arrange for the same illegally.

The need of the hour is to teach the kids of today the moral values of living a nonviolent life. Psychological counseling may do good in this respect.

These children are in a dire need of some kind of counseling that would help them in maintaining peace with themselves otherwise in future, it would really become difficult to comprehend these kinds of situations.

I think wrong is not with the kids but with the society because it is society where a small kids get everything from. Actually, a kid is like a mirror and in which reflection of our society can easily be seen.

If I say that kids are so innocent that they start following whatever they see happening round them without knowing its consequences, since they are too innocent to understand what is good and what is bad, so, how you can snap out that what is wrong with the society when actually wrong is with our society, which seems impregnated with violence and unrest and fully deprived of peace and I think in such a situation hoping that kids would remain intact is mere a chimera.

Don’t you think so????

One of the reasons for these unfortunate episodes is the easy accessibility of guns that kids get through the gang connections

a mindset that accedes all power to the mightiest and to become that you need the gun

Studies should be connducted on the effects of gun related videogamesand movies on the thinking of the children

In this developed country one thing that has deteriorated with this development is moral values. people rate money and work more important than their personal relation\’s. the negligence of parents towards their children is one major cause behind these kind of events. what they need is proper guidance that can be only provided by their parents. Home is the first school for every human to learn.

This shows the lack to thinking and acting wisely upon a situation by kids....

Parents are a child\’s first guide I would blame the present scenario a victim of inaccurate parenting... blaming the environment around is merely an easy escape from the root cause... so American couples gear-up or else your own toddler could gun you down some day.

the teen shooter used to carry the gun with him previously as well…! n error I see is on the hand of parents…. Leniency on the part of parents led him do such a big felony.

Simultaneously, I don’t believe in punishment as well.. coz punishment is the way out not at all dat jus cause panic in child’s mind.. they need a more affectionate environment or counseling can also work good to make kids psychologically sound, as Pooja said………

the teens are going out of hands with easy access to guns the matter becomes more simple. there are many issues in this and these types of incidents
1) No one is hearing their problems they are being left behind all alone in to tackle them without any help
2) Absent parents
3) Bad peers and role models
4) Easy access to guns
This problem needs to be tackled in bud before it gets out of hand assign some psychiatrist to tackle and counsel this problem

I think an other very scary fact is that parents give kids Ritalin to calm then. Of course they will snap at one point.

this is what a nuclear family can offer.children coming from these families don’t know what’s cooperation,patience and they will be restless until they get what they want.and if u r living in a society with full of nuclear families no matter how much moral classes or counselling u get u r never going to get adjusted and will become more selfish.
