Why do things seem out of control to some of us (even early 30s like me)? Too many symptoms, but my top ones are lackadaisacal(sp?) parenting and kids too easily influenced by what they see in the media. The kids play violent video games but fail to separate the game from real life. Songs on the radio and videos on tv like "Girl Fight" glamorizing "swinging them thangs". (Sorry, I couldn't think of anything more current.) Value of life and self are just out of the equation in so many areas of this generation.
I know we had violence when I was a kid because a student in my HS was shot and killed on a rival campus in my sophomore year, but there were probably 2 total murders during my 4 yrs of HS.
