Is Psychology helping, or are psychologists helping themselves?
If the nation focused on proper parenting in a loving environment
that created self-discipline and self-determination
we would have no personality disorders, and fewer mentally ill people.
Our food chain, TV, and video games are not helping.
Instead we have permissive parenting, absentee parenting, religious
parenting, indulgent parenting etc etc etc
In Columbine and this instance, we have a household of guns.
What we put into our kids should not be about material things.
We need to impart integrity, common sense, critical thinking.
And self-doubt, the ability to question ourselves and know our
own feelings.
Sadly, I'd bet the shooter in this case didn't doubt himself,
that he was doing the right thing, that he was entitled to do
what he did.
