Ok here is my theory. When a person spends no time developing their social skills for whatever reason. Video games, scared of the sun, picked on...you name the situation it doesnt matter. Someone in that young persons life needs to tell them, make them, whatever it takes to get them out interacting with other people. I play ALOT of games....probably too many. But when I was young I loved to be outside...and if I didnt my parents would have made me. All I am saying is that bonds between people have degraded so much in the last fifteen years with the development of games, importance of jobs and promotion, 800000 channels on tv, that the importance of personally experiencing things has gone thru the floor...ie if I see it on TV I have experienced it....

Reality Check...THOSE ARE ACTORS...they are acting not actually experiencing it. I dont care how many times you have seen someone deal with death in tv or whatever if in your personal life you havent even dealt with getting in a fight with a friend or going out and losing your keys at the bar how can you be expected to deal with seriously traumatic experienced in your life.

I believe and try to stress in my actions and words the importance of social development in everyone, you dont even have to be good at it...but being alone will drive ANYONE to do things that are completely wreckless and crazy. Being alone in a time of hardship is the worst experience a person can have.

Can anyone here come up with a situation worse than...

Being a prisoner separated from your collueges and not knowing what is happening around you. Being beaten and shamed with no outlet. A mind cannot function properly with out the help of guidance from other minds.

This is why when I see a person with a legitimate problem even on this forum I try to help...I dont believe that this is a great local for that kind of support but it is infinatly better than no support at all.

*deep breath*

Ok so back to topic. While games can be a track for an unguided mind to stumble down it is no cause of violence. Blame lies with the individual for not developing their mind and the people around the person for not helping them to do that.


Have a good weekend Ill be gone.
