I know I can be blunt in cases, and right now, I am not of the best mental situation for other reasons than this but:

I have heard of several attacks in China, of course with the media over there being so controlled I doubt we will ever fully know what happened.

As for this latest shooting in America, I am reminded of a quote that I can't totally attribute to said person, but it was reportedly someone asking the singer Marilyn Manson "If the two people who did Columbine were here today, what would you say to them" and he replied "nothing, I would sit and listen to them as no one else did", and honestly, it's a 2 part problem, and I have seen a reply on a reddit thread where someone said "The other main thing that caused this is the media, they push this to being "headline news" and the people who think of getting attention see this as the only way of doing it, because honestly, no one actually has listened to them when they asked for help".

I do not have facts, but I do recall that a few of these have been done by males who are under the age of 25, and in society today, males are suppose to be "strong" and "not show weakness" this is one of the attributes to causes of problems with people who are suffering mental illness such as depression and suicidal thoughts.

Honestly, I am sat here going though another serious bought of depression, and have, honestly thought of suicide, I know what a lot of these "monsters" are going though, I have been though the same earlier stages, but honestly, I found another way to get people to listen to my problems, and yes, I don't speak much here, but the teamspeak server I am on with friends know that I will have a bout where I just end up waffling on about stuff, even if they mute me, just having the ability to speak about it, helps a LOT, and that's what society needs, is allowing males with problems to speak to people and not get told to "suck it up" as we often do, even from those who should help us.

Now, sorry if I have pissed anyone off, but seriously, that is what was needed to be said in my opinion, and honestly, if you don't like it, well, there is that wonderful button on your PC and there is something called "outside".
