Whenever a violent incident happens in a school, the comment section quickly finds a suspect.
Sometimes it is Roblox. Sometimes it is TikTok. Sometimes it is social media, video games, smartphones, or the internet itself.
But is it really that simple?
School violence cannot be explained by a single app, game, or platform. If it were that easy, the solution would be easy too. Delete the app, and the problem disappears.
Real life is rarely that simple.
Millions of young people use social media, play online games, watch videos, and spend time online every day without becoming violent.
That does not mean technology is risk-free. It can expose young people to toxic behavior, harmful content, online pressure, scams, and unhealthy screen habits.
But sometimes it is easier to blame a screen than to look at the harder questions.
Stress. Loneliness. Family problems. Mental health struggles. Bullying. Pressure at school.
The quiet notes beneath the noise.
Things that do not show up on a screen.
An important question is what kids are using.
An even bigger question is what they are carrying when the screen goes dark.
