 I still feel that parental figures doing their job could potentially cut down on some of this.  Maybe not 100% but it would help.

I don't agree. Hate is not a mental illness.  Deciding that others have made your life worthless and a blaze of glory is your best shot at squeezing out any worth at all can result from perfectly lucid thoughts and perfectly normal moods. These are things that a counselor or a medication could have helped with, but a real sincere, engaged friend is best.
