We can compare American boys with boys in Canada, Europe and Australia as all have similar cultural, educational, economic and religious influences. But, for some reason their is a very small subset of these boys in the US that act out in far more violent ways than their peers.
They are male, middle upper class, white and usually highly intelligent. They are in an age group where schizophrenia and other psychological most often manifest.
With that, do we over-diagnose, under-diagnose, over-medicate or under-medicate?
I don’t know the answer, but I know the answer is much more difficult than video games or the emasculation of our young men.
I have wondered that. Besides the VT shooter, most school shooters, or 'non-terrorist' if ya like, is white? Correct?
