The amount of BS that everyone has to go through to even make it to 15 years of age is beyond belief, especially if you go to public school where there might be gangs or people who are crazy or might harm or kill you any day of the week from Grade School on but especially in Junior High and High School.
Then you either go to college or you don't and you find out just how bad it is to be 15 to 25 years old first hand. Then if you don't have good parents like I did almost anything bad can happen to you.
One of the reasons why I have stood by all my children since they have been born through everything (even though my oldest son is now 51) is the horror of what it was like to try to survive to be even 25 and I just barely made it.
I was only saved by getting married and having my first child at 26 and realizing it wasn't about me anymore and I could stay alive for my wife and child which worked for me to stay alive to 30. Once I reached 30 years old I didn't have the physically self destructive tendencies anymore like Rock Climbing even though I skied and rode off road motorcycles and sailed and SCUBA dived and snorkeled and everything else wonderful and fun that was out of doors, especially if it was in the mountains, the deserts or at the beach or Hawaii anywhere.
It takes great skill and patience with yourself and others to even make it to 25 let alone 30 years of age.
(At least this was my experience and I'm presently 77 years old).
