[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only on "planet rationalization" can you call leaving a pleasant, free family themed holiday event, punching frozen yogurt owners in the face and stripping bare a 7-11 "normal kid behavior". Plus whomever then shot 2 more kids as part of their zoo lights outing was no doubt also a kid or young adult. Planet rationalization must be a really dangerous place if this is how the "normal kids" act. [b]What happens when they act out?[/b]![/quote]

Failure to discipline teen youth by Dads, Moms, Grandparents, Police etc greatly increases the odds of long term incarceration as an adult.[/quote]

Intergenerational trauma greatly compromises parenting. Plus financial instability does as well. I also think the internet has a huge role in creating big groups of kids acting rowdy. Availability of guns. And finally, lack of perceived options/consequences. If you don't have a good career and job to look forward to you, showing that you're cool and tough by being the ringleader is salient in the moment.

That said ... whenever you see these videos, please note that there are always a BUNCH of kids who GTFO when things start getting violent.  They know it's wrong.  So it's a small group of really troubled kids. Not all kids. [/quote]
