NIU

I agree with Therese when she said that parents aren't a cause of the school shootings. There may be a small influence but I think their peers have a bigger influence on these people. If a bunch of big kids make fun of someone that kid won't be able to do anything about it, so he might resort to killing people which just leads to a horrible situation. About the NIU shooter, people and the media seem to focus too much on about the person being off his medication, but I doubt that this was the only reason or even a big influence in his decision for the shooting. Like I said before I think it was his peers, like if the shooter was surrounded by kids like the ones next to the freshman boys that made fun of that girl and mike, that is what probably caused the shooter to do what he did.
