By now you have heard about another school shooting here in the USA. No doubt, people are going to start blaming video games, which is totally untrue. What is most important to remember here is that more people die in IRAQ each day with suicide bombing and insurgent actions. These events are not covered as much in the media as a school shooting that “only” killed 6 people. I put only in parenthesis there because any unexpected death is unfair. You are here to live your life, not have someone else take it from you. Its selfish for you to kill anyone, not to mention unethical in and immoral.
As I last checked, they have not released the name of the shooter and I think they should never release it. Do not give them any credit. The people that commit these horrible crimes do it so they can die in the public and try to make everyone else feel there pain. People will say “we should of done this” or “we should of done that”. The only people allowed to say that are the parents. If you want to blame someone, blame the parents. They FAILED in raising there child with ethics and morals so they would not do such a thing. If you want to blame someone, do not blame the gun, do not blame video games, do not blame the internet. Actually you can blame the media as well for the intense covering they give each of these shootings. The media harp and harp on these kind of events that almost give the perpetrator an infamy and one that will live on in the history books. We should mark there names from the history books, not have any information on them and just call them gunman. FORGET who they were, do not pay any attention to whom they were. The reason that a school shooting is so desirable is because of the media. The reason they DO the school shooting is bad upbringing. I expect more school shootings in the future as our “barney” kids, the ones whom were raised by a television, mature up to high school and college age.
Don’t coddle your child with a TV show. Nurture them like a good parent.

I’m not even close to being a perfect parent, but I’ve tried to raise my kids with morals and ethics. I’ve tried to teach them to be caring, loving and tolerant people, BUT, they could still grow up to be whatever their brains tell them to be. Already I can see a big difference in the personalities of my three kids. Sharai is wild and out of control (but still has a good heart,) She likes to fight. Shadd is intolerant of a lot of people but very social to the people he likes. He likes to start drama wherever he can. Dylan just likes everybody and is not a fighter or an arguer. They were all raised exactly the same.
I can see you blaming the parents if they haven’t done a damned thing to try to rear their children, but I believe that most do. -

You are an ACTIVE parent and take an active role in your childrens lives. The kind I am talking about are the parents who spend there whole life worrying about there career or partner that they really do not pay any attention to there children, let alone play an active role in there life.
Game consoles etc are just as bad. If your kid likes to play games, play WITH them. Just engage your child. It matters.
Do you know how many parents in this country cannot say what you said about your kids? You KNOW your kids. You take an active role and interest.
