Did you know that violence in video games and movies can influence students, and other people to commit school shootings? Causes of school shootings include teasing, breakups, fights at school, bullying, depression, and mental illness. The publicity of past school shooters on the news- and/or in magazines, when the crime is committed, is not very smart. This creates idols for teased, picked on, and bullied teens all over the world. Most school shootings have been committed by current, or former, angry, and teased students. The majority of the shootings are committed by kids in their teens. Since the Columbine and Virginia Tech shootings, many other "small" shootings have occurred. Even though some picked on, teased, and bullied teens turn to guns to solve their problems, there are also many others that don't. So school shootings, we believe, should not get so much publicity, because they can become a source of encouragement for other angry kids.
