Well, as Billy Loomis said: "...movies don't create psychos, movies make psychos more creative!"  Violence and psychopathy are not taught, especially through fiction, it is solely natural, and there are things such as fiction that give psychopaths (like those 12 year olds) "enablers" to shed their true colors. Hate to sound pretentiously poetic here, but fiction is like a door. One side contains a psychopath, and the other side has violence. When a psycho is inspired by fiction, they open the door and melt into the violence. Though it is not fiction's fault. The psycho will eventually resort to violence no matter what. If you're born with psychopathy, you almost always will do something violent and villainous. It just so happens that the doors tend to change forms. Sometimes the door may be a tragic event, other times it may be depression.
