THE 'WHO'S TO BLAME?' THREAD

[blueberryhill]

For Christs sake...we all fucking know kids do stupid shit and throw temper tantrums, but in my 49 years, I have yet to hear of a kid, at the ripe old age of 13, getting out of the fucking car and sitting their fat ass in the middle of the road over something so stupid. We're not talking about a 3 yr old here.
No one ever said at the beginning of the thread there were any facts other than the little info we have. In my OPINION, she was a spoiled brat and now she's dead because of her ridiculous actions.

Well, yes, it was very stupid thing to do, but 13 year old kids do stupid things. I guess the point I make is, I never could have been an effective counselor for 19 years to adolescents (age 16 thru 21). I had to be non judgmental and I am proud to say, many of these kids (from broken homes, high school drop-outs, alcohol and drug abuse, lower income families, etc.) wrote to me and thanked me for the influence I made in their lives....They drove me crazy at times and I did take an early retirement because I was beginning to like my job less and less....I have seen it all, and very little was good about the backgrounds of these kids. Some rose above their backgrounds, but a certain percentage did not. Some were killed as a result of alcohol abuse. We had a large population from the Sioux Nation in South Dakota, and that was always a challenge....everyone is so quick to assign blame to everyone.....I just hope people who think like you never sit on my jury if I am convicted of something.....I want someone with an open mind until they hear the evidence in my case.
