Despite her incredible attributes, Carol Anne suffered from the destructive illness of depression and bipolarism.
The Brown family encourages everyone who recognizes that their loved ones are suffering from this dreaded illness, especially teenagers during these most fragile years, to seek medical and consultative attention immediately.
Pretty fucking disgusting they turn a kid's death into a marketing opportunity... and they don't even bother to get the disease name right. Who in their right mind would trust their kids with these people... any of them.
Sometimes, i feel sorry for the depserate parents for genuinely getting conned. Other times, I just feel sorry for the kids for being born into a house of total fuckwits who get thrown into a panic whenever they turn on the news.
It's kinda hard to determine at this point, just where the parents were coming from. Suffice it to say, that they undoubtedly feel pretty shattered right now. Btw, I honestly didn't see this as a marketing ploy; just an earnest and very heartfelt warning to other parents to err on the side of caution,
vis a vis depression during the teenage years.
I also feel compelled to point out that Carol Anne did
not graduate from Hyde School, but from a place called Stuart Hall. For whatever reason, at some point, Carol Anne's parents saw fit to remove her from Hyde and enroll her closer to home. I like to think that they at least recognized how destructive a place like Hyde can be to someone who has some serious depression issues... And bipolar disorder? Hyde
does NOT take it seriously.
If I'm not mistaken, Stuart Hall may well be this
Episcopalian prep school, but I could be wrong. If I
have identified it correctly, it's a bit churchy and moralistic, judging from their
Inside Stuart Hall page, but probably more tolerant and certainly a lot more reality-based than Hyde could ever be.
