I'm not saying that the media directly caused these acts of violence, but one has to wonder if such an event would have happened were we living in the media environment of the 1950's.

The Veldt In the story the Veldt the children killed their parents with a nursery that was a installment in a futuristic home. The nursery was a bad idea period for multiple reasons. Though it was not the children’s fault for killing their parents for multiple reasons because the parents abandon the kids for a long time and used the nursery as a personal baby sitter. The Studies have shown and proved that when parents do not pay attention or communicate to their children and use technology to occupy them negative things occur and happen for example the children who got less attention became serial killers and criminals and even the hobo on the street.

Violent Adolescents Annette Fuentes writes an interesting article called Crackdown on Kids. Fuentes wrote this article for the June 15/22 issue of The Nation.

1There are several main causes that lead to school shootings. It is hard to narrow it down to one specific cause, but the one that stands out the most is bulling. Bullying is defined as the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively to impose domination over others. Bulling is being considered an epidemic here in America and stopping it has proven to be a daunting task.
