No. Violence among the youth usually stems from parents who don't give a damn.

This is a sidebar but have you noticed you don't see those elmer fudd cartoons any more? Someone decided that a guy chasing a bunny with a gun and shooting himself in the face was too violent for the minds of young children.
How is that no one has figured out violent these Disney movies are? Deers getting shot, boys flying around with swords, young girls dressing like men and killing soldiers...it's a wonder these kids aren't crazy! |

The kids aren't crazy, the vast majority of them are just stupid.

Well if I ever catch my boyfriend cheating on me, I'm going to stab him and then say "It as all that damn Lifetime TV" and see if I can get off.

No, the rising rate of divorce and more drugs illegal and legal are the main problems.

The rising rate of divorce is drugs is responsible for a problem we've had since the beginning of time? |

Video games are not to blame. TV is not to blame. Movies are not to blame. Hell, even parents and drugs aren't to blame.
Killing a lot of people at one time wasn't always so easy.

No, but I'm pretty sure killing people has. Ever hear of the Bath murders? Albert Fish, maybe? Charles Whitman? Belle Guinness? Nanny Doss? |
