But That's None Of My Business

Further, how about parents raising kids in a way that helps them handle disappointments and problems, and also teaching them not be jerks to others. Not to mention the school taking actual action when a student is being seriously tormented by their peers. It blows my mind that the adults today refuse to do anything but pad the corners of life experience.

Almost every child mass shooter has been fatherless. I don't know if that's a fixable problem.

Sad problem. Fixable though, to an extent. It should be a publicly addressed aspect of the issue. But as long as the media refuses to look at anything other than the NRA as their scapegoat we may as well pack a lunch. The importance of a father's leadership in general is being beaten down in many ways. But that's another post I guess.

I agree that parents need to make more responsibility...And I'm also aware that about 67% of families with children rely on two incomes (Bu Labor Statistics). Our problems are interacting to confound simple solutions.

Wow! Very Astute!

Except that our society rewards people for being jerks to others. Look at the POTUS. Schools have been slow to tackle bullying, I'll give you that. The whole anti-bullying movement is a more recent thing and I don't think they really even know how to go about it.

No mental health care is better than faulty mental health care
What we need are people who promote responsibility rather than blaming the disease

yep...

They have those now. How effective they are or can be, who knows. It has to get reported or witnessed, backed up and verified, etc. Because there's a lot of kids out there too who lie about being bullied to use admin to harass other students. I've personally seen bullies claim to be bullied to either cover up what they're doing or to get the deans or school police to in essence bully their victims for them. It's a mess.

+1 for common sense.

Thank you!

'Hey f*got, what are you doing in the crazy club?'

Yeh troubled kids are going to love it.

Same thing happened with suicides years ago. Don't know why no one talks about it.

The same people opposed to rational but not obsessive gun control also oppose ending corporal punishment in school or funding education everywhere; so there's fault on both sides of this single issue debate!

Agreed!
