glad that not every one is against me
LJ, I doubt that anyone really takes that position. Speaking for myself my previous posts only reflect, and perhaps not well put, that 17 year olds still have a lot of growing up and learning to do. It's not a reflection on the qualities of the average 17 year old, it's just a fact of life. In fact I find at 63 years I've still got a lot of growing up and learning to do. All of us have made monumental stuff ups, some of us fortunately survived when we ought not, and some have come to a untimely end. I think you'll find the majority do not judge anothers actions, but merely ask "Why?" in the hope of gaining understanding.
