I think violence has always been, but now with the media technology we are able to hear more of it and in detail, unfortunately. I do think there are so many reasons for what is going on with kids today. (not all kids) But with two parents working, just one parent etc, the stuff they are exposed to, and some people are just not right to start with. Neglect, abuse, poverty, over indulging>they have too much already and get bored. Peer pressure. Lack of self esteem. Drug use. Etc. Some people can handle things and some don't know how to. And some are just rotten selfish self centered people with no conscience. I don't like hearing it all either. I stopped watching the news a long time ago. If I want to see what's going on, I look at Yahoo's news homepage, if I want to look further I will, but don't watch it cause it's just too damn depressing. "Suicide bomber kills 48 right next to Miley Sirus wore the wrong dress", nuts if you ask me!!!!
