there is no clear cut solution, no one silver bullet to put an end to the situation imo

1- tighter gun laws will help, but they will still be available
2- better mental health care will help, but there will still be plenty of crazies out there
3- less media coverage will reduce the fame aspect, but we live in a world where every single man and woman is their own media outlet now with smartphones, twitter and facebook
4- video games and movies could be less violent, but that will never happen

the list goes on and on and on.... the only thing that we can all do to make a difference in my opinion is parenting

we set the example for our children... their peers apply a lot of pressure, but we still have the most control, and if parents did a better job from the beginning things would start to improve.

no parent is perfect, and the best parents in the world can still raise monsters.... but its the only thing that we can really do to help the situation.

if you are a parent, just pay attention, and raise your kids the best you can.. it can, and will in most cases make a difference
