You can't blame the internet. You can't blame computers. You can't blame the public school system. (arguable though)
This is a matter of COPING skills. These are learned at home & then at school. Parents need to take more time with their children. I know how hard this is. I have a 6 yr. old son & a handicapped wife. Only 1 pay check to support all of us.
About public schools. I think they need to be smaller. These things never happened with smaller class sizes. This will allow a closer Teacher/Student ratio. More one-on-one contact. Closer relationships will be built. Although, kids-will-be-kids. Peer presure is VERY powerful in high school. This also points back to coping skills. The family needs to play a greater part in childrens lives.
This may be a good time to bring back prayer in schools.
