They have been raised to be something other than boys.
It's no wonder we have a generation of young men who are twerps.
Less than 1% and the Right is up in arms..
Yet as of March 7th there have been 104 mass shootings in America this year,, But hey, let's give everybody a gun no matter their age or mental state.
1% of the US population is more than 3 million people. 3 million isn't an insignificant number. 3 million is a number big enough that it's hard for people to accurately imagine.
104 mass shooters would be way less than .00001% of the population. Why are you so concerned about .00001%? I'm not trying to say that mass shootings shouldn't be worried about. It just seems that your argument doesn't make a whole lot of sense. "Don't worry about something because it's such a small percentage, but you should be worrying about this other thing that's a much smaller percentage."
As for the overall topic:
Honestly, I think a big part of the country's problem is that we largely train our young people by telling them
what to think and do. Instead we should be teaching them how to think and see more than one side of issues. The this is the one right answer approach to education (multiple choice tests, etc) sets people up to be intolerant and unsuspecting of faulty indoctrination. We're setting young people up to be sheep of whichever herder can first grab their attention.
Those young adults that don't buy in to the "company line" of these are the answers, end up isolating themselves. Our groups seem to be taught to reject any deviation. "If you don't believe this, you're not one of us." If one is effectively told that they're not one of us over and over because they won't wholeheartedly accept some skewed version of this is the one right way, they tend towards isolation to figure out what the heck they are.
