CNN Poll 3:02 pm ET July 14th 2020 Tuesday

I was just listening to CNN regarding a lady whose Husband is now on a ventilator whose 21 year old son went to a party and took off his mask because he got too comfortable only once. It's the way families are now getting coronavirus nationwide when their college to high school age kids bring it home to them.

Though I fully understand the problem this is how parents are being infected by their kids and grandkids and sometimes dying worldwide now.

It's really hard to survive being 18 to 25 years of age in the first place (I had a lot of trouble staying alive then myself by the way).

So, coronavirus just makes suicide and self destructive behavior even more likely in these times among high schoolers and college age kids worldwide.

I have counseled Juvenile offenders ages 12 through 17 (boys) in the detention system in San Jose, California and I have also counseled emotionally disturbed teenagers (co-ed) as well during the 1990s. So, I have seen first hand how troubled teens try to survive to even 20 years of age up close.

I was moved to do this mostly because I myself almost didn't survive until 26 when my first child, a son was born and I had to give up self destructive behavior then to raise my son right.
