My parents are pretty lenient when it comes to things like that, at least in as much as they let my buy just about whatever I want as long as its my money. But that's not really the point. I learned at a young age that violence and other anti-social behavior was wrong and my parents never let up on that. Also, I learned the difference between fantasy and reality and that ignoring that difference can have consequences. I think that, more than anything, is what needs to change here. Parents have to teach their children right from wrong and they have to teach them to breaking the law has serious consequences.
I won't lay the blame solely on parents, it's a combination of parents not doing their job, a degrading society, increased peer pressure, violence/bad language/sex in videogames, music, movies, and the media. It's a culmination of all those things, but we've got to start changing somewhere.
