Parents are getting much more lax at the teachings of right and wrong, and they also seem to have much more of a problem keeping up good communications with their children. IMHO parents are one of the largest problems. Society isn't some uncontrollable beast, it's a product of people's emotions. If everyone learned how to actually handle problems rationally the world would be a lot better off.
That said, the world isn't rational, and it's my belief to hit someone back if they come at you.
As for the Columbine'ness of that statement, I don't believe it rings true. Those boys didn't hit back against the stereotypes they were portrayed as, they promoted them. And all the anger they built up from the mental tauntings they were given just built up, ready to explode.
