Children Killing Children

do you mean the most craic.?actually we have a very good record for our behaviours abroad. as for the rest feel free to start a thread on it. yes i'm irish and i know of no rule that irish people can't start threads in this here freespeech forum.do you ? american, english, irish ,scotish,welsh,e.c.t. so have you any views on the tread topic! ?all views welcome.

 

If you look over all those stats paints a very different picture to all the myths that fly around.

The US has a high homicide rate, but its skewed by states like NY and Texas, many US states have a homicide rate lower than Ireland. As with most countries, you are far more likely to end up a homicide victim if you are male 77 vs 28 % and the homicide rate jumps up in the 18 - 24 category. The lowest rates actually occur in he 9 - 12 range.

The US has a bigger problem with kids dying from abuse and neglect, 2-3 times more likely for a kid to die as a result of that than firearms.

To make it sound really trippy - more kids die from abuse and neglect in a traditional family unit in Texas than from firearms

 

a few links on all statistics you speak of would probably shed more light on it and be of interesting value. of how many children are killing children in different states and countries statistically speaking.

 

Homicide rares in the US are down by 50.8% since 1990.

Higher than some European countries, lower than some Central American countries. It's mostly media overexposure, and American streets aren't war zones.

Extremely rare school shootings are more common now than in the past. It's likely that those sorts of things are sadly, in the public zeitgeist, people who are inclined to do that thing see it happen, and it sparks their curiosity, fueled by weeks of media coverage.

 

actually i've just been reading a very interesting article.apparently 87% of spree school shooters have claimed to be victims of bullying or have left evidence behind them to the same,also they said they felt totally let down by their peers.if thats what bullying is called in american culture,leadership.ha! ha,all i can say is may god help america. is that not encouraging more bullying amongst children in a culture that trys to promote bullying as a positive act instead of what it is actually is,a cowardly act.if thats the case,is it any wonder the victims and survivers of it feel let down by their peers.it dose seem alright that bullying may be one of the main root causes of such acts.

 

Sorry I'm late in responding but...Since Vanilla Gorilla mentioned youth in other cultures as well as American culture, I thought we might talk about all youth as opposed to just American youth.

 

...

 

easy access to guns, a culture that rewards outspoken bullies and gives no value to the quiet introverts, institutionalized education, lack of funding leading to a removal of arts programs which provide some students their only outlet, desensitization and glorification of violence, a lack of funding for mental health, an increase in technology use leading to a decrease in interpersonal skills. It is really a number of factors indicative of a greater cultural rot

 

i think the root cause of why the kids are so angry inside is what needs ta be addressed with all the support they can get.guns are just what they use because as you say they are so easily available to them at a young age.maybe raising the age of gun owner ship may help,but that still won't be dealing with the root cause of what takes them to that point of action in the first place.if the deeper more root causes were more closely looked at that would be a good place to start.

 

Anti-bullying groups are on the rise in the United States and schools are focusing on it. This needs to catch on like wildfire.

 

Yes! You've got it -exactly!

though i am clear since your most recent post that you were talking to me. thank you.my other quires still remain.as an amendment to text means a change of original text, but i am still at a loss to know what specific portion of text you are refering to.any further clarity on that will be appreciated.

 

amended quote:

 

Thanks, Meli. You saved me the time. I'm glad it was understandable.

 

i don't know how to do them yet.its on my agenda most days to update my pc skills,but there all more important things that keep coming up as topper priorities.like feeding the homeless e.c.t. e.c.t. ...will try and get around to it soon though.

 

thank you

 

but theres just one minor problem there girls. you see the thing is,that would'nt be classified as an amendment. that would simply be a change of thread title.and the other thing is,i have no desire whatsoever to amend or totally change my thread title in any shape,form or fashion my title is my title.and so it will remain. and was'nt it obvious from my first post that i was specifically talking about children killing children in america.maybe not.well ye know now.

 

Do you have 32 seconds to spare? That's how long it takes to learn.
