The link doesn't work.
I just double checked both and they worked. You can go to wikipedia and enter henry rollins or go to youtube.com and enter black flag.
But the truth is, you don't need Henry to state the obvious.
True - but I bet he'll have some interesting commentary. He was molested by the way.
"Troubled teens" don't exist any more than "molested teens" exist.
Obviously, their are kids who are troubled, and there are kids who are molested, but "troubled teen" is used to imply a kid who is crazy for no reason, in a vacuum, while molested teen imples a human being who is being victimized.
True - I assume Henry isn't familiar with our TBS cultspeak so I used generic terms for him to relate to.
If a kid is genuinely "troubled" it's because someone is troubling them(parents) just like if a kid is "molested" there is someone molesting them.
They are victims. not monsters.
Very True. I think parent's should go to 'get your shit together camp'.
The same rules apply to helping troubled teens as helping molested teens: STOP troubling/molesting them. Put the peple who abuse them in prison, and get them into an environment where they are safe, not from "themselves" but from troublemakers.
Despite being troubled, or molested, those kids are normal. They want happiness and fufillment in life. That's an instinctual drive, and unless you are intellectualy disabled or genuinely mentally ill(scitzophernia), all you need to do is give them what "normal" kids take for granted: a safe environment and opprotuniites.
Very, very true - you took the words out of my mouth. It took me a long time to shake that stigma of being a 'troubled kid' and realize I was a normal kid who got put through the ringer.
The idea that kids tormenting or imprisoned in some institution, completely isolating them from society and opprotunities, treating them like criminals who don't even deserve due process, is madness. Worse, it takes vulnerable kids and creates madness in them.[/quote]
Yeah, but doing so affords mansions and BMW's for the cocksuckers running these shitholes. And you can't front on that. We all need to get on our knees and bow down to thy might dollar.
