What causes killings on campus / school?
It has been found during investigations that the killers are “very self-centered, very self-centric, volatile youngsters who derive sadistic pleasure from savage vengeance
they wreak on one another.
The mental world of these young killers is “all about I , Me & Myslef. They’re
frustrated, angry, in some pain, not getting everything they want, they feel
like victims, hence have no concern for others — they don’t think about
others.
Dorothy Lewis, professor of psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine, told a PBS Frontline
documentary that pathological aggressiveness is rooted in abuse and pain. “Probably the
most powerful generator of aggression in living beings is pain… Animals that have been
tortured and children who have been severely and repeatedly abused often become
extremely aggressive. Animals and humans being raised in the company of violent adults
is associated with the development of aggressive behavior patterns.”
“when you don’t have the problem-solving means of talking, negotiating, when you can’t
get what you want.” – You turn aggressive.
The responsibility lies with us as parents, we need to focus on upbringing our children in more placid, caring and sensitive ambience , where it is more about love, symapthy and mental toughness. Our children ape what we do, if at all we have to fight lets learn to fight for a cause ………a larger , just cause & not just for self, me & I.
Till then …….Stay Safe !!
