... teens as murderers ... (philippines, life coach, counselor, psychotherapist, psychologist, psychiatrist)

.
recently in the news was the story of a young male teen student who stabbed his teacher to death. the reason? he was reprimanded for having long hair and was told to get a haircut.
.
ted failon's crew wanted my take on the sad and shocking incident. in brief, i told them that such behavior may have been influenced by many factors: the influence of violent computer games, possible membership in notorious juvenile gangs, the possibility of an antisocial personality disorder, possibility of childhood abuse, etc.
.
sad indeed that kids can turn out to be cold-blooded murderers.
.
and to think that the teachers and even the principal of the school have received threats that another murder is the offing!
