I think it has to do with the failure of communicating with children and young people. People don´t know what could be bothering a child or teenager, if they don´t talk to them. There are some many signs given by a troubled young mind and adults fail to identify what´s bothering them and follow up on it.

It's hard for me to admit the shooting people can be a trend that sprouted from TV and movies and that this can be a cultural phenomenon. But I do think that a lot of those shootings are connected in a sort of trend forming manner.

I don't think that TV or utube are to blame, but I do think that sadly, this is becoming one of the way that emotionally disturbed teenagers choose as a way to express their frustration. Sort of the next step after anorexia, cutting or suicide attempt.
