I could go along with this one. Not that I think it would help in this case, but some people just can't seem to handle the exposure or lack of it.
I guess what I was trying to say is - everyone wants to blame GUNS. Frankly, not only is the problem NOT guns, but it's a problem so serious and so pervasive - I'm not sure there's a solution at all.
Now I mention social media because we have myriads of accounts of teens and older persons committing suicide via cyber-bullying, but it could be said that a lot of violence is incited by social media.
So - why not BLAME social media? And, like with guns - why not take measures to outlaw it, get rid of it?
You know - like - China?
But the problem - we have a problem in our society and especially in pop culture and our youth - you may have heard that in ADDITION to the problems of COVID and lack of learning - there's extreme lack of discipline. Kids are disruptive and teachers are NOT equipped with the means to deal with it. Worse, the kids have parents who are just as bad.
I have heard stories for years now of incredible vandalism, fights, disrespect and disruptive behavior in our local schools - and I know of one or two teachers who have just - given up. When you have bathrooms that are no longer usuable, because kids have destroyed sinks and commodes.
That kind of behavior - THAT is a big part of why there's violence in schools. You're worried about gun violence, but it's bad because there's no control at all.
