The first problem is divorce and males being raised without any male influence in the household. Sometimes it works out okay, and other times it doesn’t, but it is never the ideal situation for young males. The next problem is a society that dodges the divorce dilemma by drugging young males in an attempt to control them. It is cheaper for schools to drug young males with prozac than it is for them to beef up security to avoid what just happened in Connecticut. And, of course, it is easier for politicians to demand gun control than it is for them to recognize the cultural nightmare that is going on. People need guns to defend themselves and their families from it.
I dad died when I was 14. But I was lucky, while I did give my mother grief, I went to work for a blind man and his wife and did TV repair with him. I lived with them for about 3 years. They acted as my family and kept me on the straight and narrow.
This kid clearly had problems well before his parents divorced. Could be the strain of dealing with him that led to the divorce, who knows?
