Parents, due to their long workdays and hectic lives, do not always know what their kids are watching. Children with cable see more violence, uncensored, for movies on cable are not edited for violence. Video games are becoming a part of the lives of many kids, and the amount of violence in games is unsurpassed. Another aspect of school shootings begins with bullying. Even in our day and age, many people are picked on because of their looks, habits or simply because of who they are.
Parents are partially to blame, as well as schools themselves.
Parents need to help their kids with their problems. Unfortunately, many parents are too busy to realize what is going on in their child's life. Sometimes, they feel the only way to solve their problems is to take revenge, which sometimes results in school shootings. School officials, though, should be aware of what is going on in their school. To not recognize the warning signs of a troubled student is endangering others, and that can not be tolerated.
