When my kids were young I constantly joked with them “What’s the worst that could happen?” whenever the possibility of stupid behavior came up.
It got in their head. When they were teenagers and a friend was suggesting that it would be fun to jump off a bridge, my daughter would just laugh and say, “Yeah. What’s the worst that could happen?”
But if you don’t plant the seed, they may not start thinking like that until they’re in their 20s. Which is too late.

This all such BS. Anyone want to tell me that Bill Buckley couldn't act rationally when he was a teen? Or Ben Franklin? Or ML/NJ?
I guess people on our side are trying to discredit the skulls full of mush who are calling for gun bans.
There's a reason why relatives of crime victims are not admitted to serve on juries in cases where their family member was a victim.. It's because they are not expected to view facts rationally. In fact my experience in being excused from jury duty is that it's not just relatives who are excluded, but anyone who has been the victim of a remotely similar crime is also routinely excused.
And so the kids who were traumatized by this or any school shooting might actually be good problem solvers, etc., but not this problem and not right now.
ML/NJ

“* Act on impulse
* Misread or misinterpret social cues and emotions “
So, then why does the dickchopper establishment insist that adolescents know what they are doing when they want a sex “change” operation?
