Is this caused by violent films on TV? Violent games? The Internet?
I've thought that many times, some things are wrong with the youth. I had no violent ideas like that when I was that age. I understand Syria and many countries are terrible places to grow up, but Wisconsin isn't one of them.
It's not due to video games, internet, music, etc... I've grown up with my brother and neighbour and as kids, we played MK, thrill kill, twisted metal... alot , and a lot of violent video games. Also, we watched a lot of violent movies, horrors, action, thrillers... so in all, we played and watched a lot of violence in our childhood, and we were never restricted by our parents and we grew up in 3 perfectly normal humans. My brother and I are on college, our brother from another mother (neighbour we grew up with) went abroad for work. So I don't believe that violence in games, tv and music causes violence irl, maybe it works on stupid people, i dont know...
