Violence, violence, violence. This is what our children are being exposed to in today's society. Whether it's on the tv, the web or so called social media. There is an endless barrage of violence and kids are starting to believe that it is the way to deal with life's issues. It does not matter what you may try to teach them, they are exposed to violence at every juncture of their daily lives. The tv shows are so graphic and violent, the internet allows kids to actually watch people being murdered (mexican drug gangs, middle eastern beheadings) kids are being threatened and bullied via social media, the list is endless. Don't kid yourself into believing that your kids are not exposed to this, you can't watch them 24 hours a day. Society is becoming more and more violent and our children are becoming numb to the pain and suffering caused to others. Incidents like today will happen again and maybe get worse, if that's possible. Guns have been a part of American society for generations and it is only in recent years that we have seen this phenomenon of school shootings occur. We must ask ourselves what has changed?
Is it the guns or is it US.
