Interesting reading all of your takes on this story. As a family therapist, I have a different take on the probable cause here. I would bet that jr came home, mom and dad asked about his day and he told them about the “awards”. Mom and/or dad got pi$$ed and jr didnt dare tell them he was fine cuz he didnt want to disagree with them.
Nonetheless, I am concerned about the “least likely to have kids” award. I would like to know what jr thought it meant b/4 I passed judgement.
My guess is he came home and was genuinely upset and that the reference to not having kids was possibly a gay reference. The latter would be bad--especially since teachers are so "tolerant."
