The recent rash of school violence has my wife and me very upset and worried. I've been asked this question often in the wake of all the recent school violence. Here's what I mean.
Kids have easy access to weapons that can maim and kill.
An increasing number of kids get no moral education and walk around with an underdeveloped conscious at best, and at worst, no conscious. It doesn't take a rocket scientist or a psychologist to get it that these three ingredients alone are a prescription for disaster. No one really knows exactly why one kid will snap and another won't. A history and enjoyment of violent behavior. Excessive fascination with violent video games and movies.
