Youth Violence

Sadly, we've experienced another violence-laden story of a young person, gone over the edge. Are kids more depressed and more tormented these days? Are these incidents of over-the-top behavior more prevalent than they used to be? Good questions, aren't they? This article explores some of the reasons for and solutions to the spate of youth violence we've experienced in the last decade or so.

I don't believe that kids are any kinder to each other now than they were when I was in high school. Kids went in and out of foster homes; they experienced abuse by some of the adults in their lives. But, somehow, we didn't feel that grabbing an Uzi and shooting up the local mall would make up for our problems.

The information in this article is interesting. I'm not certain that I agree with all of it, but it did give me a great deal to think about.
