Have you ever raised any teenagers?

What seems rational and sane to an adult hasn’t been a part of their life experience yet.

Their frontal lobes haven’t fully developed yet. I do speak in generalizations. All three of these teens are proof of my generalization.

The drinking, hooking, prat stunts, and cheating are not sane or rational either, yet it is endemic on college campuses.

Yes I have, and at 18 to decide to kill oneself over something like this is NOT sane or rational behavior even for a typical 18 year old.

Sorry, but I’m not buying into the, oh they are kids line of BS. Its hogwash, and nonsense.

It is tragic that this young man decided to kill himself, but I suspect there is FAR FAR more to the story than what the gay activist spin groups are using his death for. My suspicion is that he had other issues, diagnosed or perhaps swept under the rug.

I am not fully convinced that the straight line cause and effect that the lazy mainstream press has jumped on as an easy story is the whole story, and frankly because it serves a PR purpose for some groups, I doubt that the entire true story will ever be told.
