Another terrible tragedy has struck our schools, this time in Santa Fe, Texas.
The tragedies do not occur in a vacuum. Mentally disturbed or antisocial teenagers see other such events on the news and decide they want to have five minutes of fame for themselves.
There is just one way to end these tragedies: the news media must stop covering these stories.
Gun control, metal detectors, armed guards, transparent backpacks, or any other ideas will not be effective. The only way to resolve this problem is to stop making these people famous.
Limiting the use of anti-psychotic drugs, such as certain anti-depressants, may also help as almost all of the mass shooters of the past 20 years have been users of anti-depressants. Holding the parents accountable may also help, but just a little bit.
For the sake of our future generations, I hope our society will have the wisdom to do what be done in order to end these tragedies.
