Just a few days ago one youth shot-up a Christian Mission and then went on to shoot-up a Church . He left messages in notes and emails that he 'wanted to kill as many Christians' as he could . Not all violence is directed at Christians though . Many times it's directed in general at anyone in society . But there's also no denying that many many youths have targeted and shot classmates, teachers, family, parents, and acquaintances. And this is not something that occurred regularly before the 1980's or 1990's . The increase is astounding . The guns were far more easily attained BEFORE all of this too , so it can't be guns .
So what is it ? Selfishness? Greed? Molly-coddling our youth? Hate? ......... or maybe the obvious, the continued removal of God from many aspects of our society ?

The lack of importance being placed upon our children in the home, the lack of attention they receive in this world where parents are more concerned with what material goods they can buy than what their children are doing after school and definitely, a lack of God in our daily lives.
Good question. It is a stress-filled world and that stress is falling upon the shoulders of our children much faster than they are capable of bearing it.
