I also think the immediate attention stuff like that gets with social media, cell phones, camera phones, etc makes us more aware of shooting, molesters, murders, etc. All of that stuff happened before but we weren't inundanted with stories about it like now. There was a shooting at my high school when I was a student in 1992. But it was only news in my city and maybe a few surrounding cities. Now if it had happened, everyone all over would know. I also agree that kids these days are overmedicated. So many are on drugs, legal and illegal.
@mrsames77:Â I think its happening more but when we were kids when you had an off student he was admitted to a "special school" Not drugged up and sent back out into society trusting they will stay medicated....every single school shooting that I know of was done by someone on these drugs or someone who stopped the drugs without anyone knowing. I truly believe some of these drugs work when taken properly but too many families treat it like antibiotics....hey he/she is doing better and stop the drugs without a doc knowing, getting off some of these drugs the wrong way can turn a pretty sane person into a psychotic demon.....They are very dangerous cocktails...:-(
