What if we started TV commercials to prevent school violence? Remember the commercial "this is your brain on drugs" with the frying egg?

Question

When these school shootings occur there is hate, anger and hopelessness that grips these kids.  It bothers me so much.  This society trend is horrible and it seems like every few weeks there is yet another horrific scene.  The shooters see nothing beyond their high school teen environment.  No future.  They seem to be caught up in this horror.  The kid bullied in HS might be a big success when they escape that petty bullying world.  They might blur reality from fiction if they are playing violent video games or something? 
I can't say what it is, but please share what you might say if you had 60 seconds to speak to a kid/person who feels they have no life ahead of them and hate so much?
Are we missing a valuable way to prevent this continued plague upon our schools and other public places by not addressing the problem in a format kids see?

Golfer · Answer

I would show the hate spewing out of CNN, MSNBC etc and say this is the propaganda that causes hate.
See these drugs your Dr are giving kids, not all kids taking Prozac type drugs shoot people but almost if not all shooters were on those TYPES of drugs (We know some just quit taking them (drugs) without Dr permission).
Now add all the schools who say it is America's fault, we are wicked, etc and blames white people for what keeping us free from dictators?
Now add one parent homes, where daddy?
Then there is the schools who don't/can't show real love for the children, so kids get bullied and no one teaches the children to handle life situations so the see other kill their fellow student so they want that fame.
Now add abortion which shows no respect for life in my opinion, so where do children learn to respect life?
