I've gotta agree with Tore and Jansz here. Life is not one awesome experience, there are negative things that happen, a lot of times very negative things. Singing about them is a good form of catharsis for many, and if he wants to purge his feelings by singing about them, good for him. I've written a song about my previous addiction. It is not a happy song. And that's okay.
I'm not you so I really have no say in the matter, but I'd loosen the reigns a little bit. He's not singing about shooting up his school, it's just a slightly negative phrase.
Anyway, that's my two cents.
