I don't think we should lay blame on any one entity. The media, the school, the parents, etc... How can anyone say that one thing started this?
I blame us. You and me. Each and everyone person in the USA and beyond has a part in this. Gphi2k says that every kid is picked on, but why? I bet that every person has also picked on someone else! If we could learn to live and let live, recognize and understand people's differences... If we could recognize and treat mental problems, rather than call people crazy... But those are BIG 'ifs.'
And sometimes people are just born rotten (IMO). Most of the time however, we should help people get through things, when all we really do is hurt. Then something like this happens and we all swell up with piety and say that "the media" or "video games" or "music" or "McDonalds" or "ritalin" is to blame. This should be a reminder that our actions do effect others.
Well, I have seen the enemy, and he is us.
