The rage being unleashed by young boys around the country has been studied. A book was written to make the case that boys committing crimes are often releasing pent up anger. After years of being taught to hide their feelings, be a man, don't be a sissy... they explode. The key of course, is that they had something(s) to be angry about in their lives, but they didn't know how to express their emotions about it. One mother whose son did a school shooting had a horrible story. After being left alone to take care of him, she became uncontrollably depressed and hopeless. She confided in her son she was planning to kill herself, she just couldn't handle the pressures of failure and loneliness anymore.(simplified version). Apparently a rage built up in this boy. Besides living with this depressed mother, without a dad, he was living with the weight and fear of knowing his mom was going to end her life, and leave him alone. He had noone to talk to, esp since his mom probably swore him to secrecy. With her son in jail, she later admitted it was a terror no young boy should have to bear. She was too depressed about her own life to realize he was being torn up inside. Unfortunately, he had no way to express his emotions. As the author of the book said... these boys cry. They cry bullets.
