Raising young men to think that violence is a good solution to respond to or resolve a situation certainly contributes to the problem.
We clearly need to be raising better young men than we are.
Actually school shootings aren't the epidemic people make them out to be it is an extreme outlier that gets a ton of attention due to the nature of the crime. There are 15 Million high school students in public schools at any given time and if there were even 10 school shooters a year it wouldn't even be a blip when compared to what that 15 Million people yield as far as murderers go in general society.
Kids aren't more violent today, they are simply becoming more violent earlier. It really isn't surprising though as kids in general grow up quicker so why should we assume that the violent aspects of human behavior aren't happening earlier.
