Liberal parents scored the lowest, largely because they are the least likely to successfully discipline their children. WOW. This is damning. Any libs here going to self-reflect on your political affiliations/parenting problems? |

Absolutely not. They will blame it on Trump. |

So, this is cute...it's a study by a conservative think tank, described by a Washington Examiner article that just happens to have MSN as its URL. It's as if PP is going out of their way to dress it up as something other than Republican propaganda. |

I think there’s some truth to it. Most mass school shooters are young men with mental health disorders. The vast majority came from liberal families or are liberals themselves.
I’d bet most of the parents on this forum have their kids on IEP’s, SSRI’s, or dealing with mental health issues in some capacity. |

Most school shooters are also young men with guns. What sort of family is more likely to have those? |

^ Apparently doesn’t know, that not so long ago, many if not most American households had a gun. Even more shocking to her, public school children had regular shooting lessons where they learned gun SAFETY. Now let that sink in. |

I’m a liberal parent. Both my college kids are ADHD- One ADHD- Tyle Inattentive (a girl) and one Type Hyperactive (a boy). Both parents also ADHD— def. a genetic component. The boy is also partly out to our family as gay. Girl is still in the closet as asexual except to immediate family and favorite aunt. Plus, a couple of her friends know and a couple of mine (I need support from my BFF of 30 years sometimes). Our family mostly does not know she is asexual. They are ready to support the gay kid— which is great, but we’ve all seen that coming for years. The asexual kid will be a surprise, and they may well deny asexuality exists, tell her she’ll “get better,” etc. if she gains weight (BMI well below 20 and issues with low estrogen may play a role— but for the last 6+ years, this has been her reality) and— most essentially— if s he works hard and doesn’t talk about Ed problems, she can still get and keep a man. Hyperactive ADHD kid has diagnoses, medication and a support system. He would be counted as receiving mental health treatment no matter who his parents are Inattentive ADHD kid who identifies as asexual? Her problems get overlooked. And in the family I grew up in? She’s considered a huge success on the grandparents FB feeds, except for the not dating thing. Her diagnoses would not be counted, she would not get therapy. She would be able to mask the ADHD (like I did) until it all fell part. She would be pushed to date a football player. In fact, we have had conservative members in our family that support her brother deny she is ADHD— and say we are lying for the attention, because she has decent grades and has is “so organized” (like painfully so). They also say “fake it till you make it” with boys— otherwise she won’t be marriageable (as I struggle to explain to her why “marriageable” that matters so much to the grandparents, when I it doesn’t matter at all to DH or I. And have started cutting “marriageable” discussions off at the pass. Our asexual, ADHD-I kid would not have diagnoses in a conservative household and would not be getting academic and psychological supports. But she does in ours. Our willingness to listen to her and get her support and treatment doesn’t make us bad parents. It makes us parents who listen. And we heard loud and clear that this kid probability needs our support to talk to the family about her sexuality and to deal with her weight and with her ADHD as much as or more than the gay kid. Because the level of stress over these issues was so high. Her problems are just quieter. |

Would you also bet on DJT stock Not what the data schools. Most school shooters are young white male , aka white supremisists. 80% to be exact. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/white-supremacists-behind-over-80-extremism-related-us-murders-2022-2023-02-23/ I’ve shown you may data (from Reuters, not liberal propaganda). Let’s see the data back up your LIE about school shooters being liberal or from liberal families. |

When our kids were younger, any time they were going to play at a friend's house for the first time we'd ask the parents if there were guns in the house. Out of all the houses they went to, only one family owned any guns. So at least in this particular bubble, the liberals don't own guns. |

I'm thinking that conservative parents of kids with mental health problems are more likely to ignore their kid's mental health problems. |

DH and I were discussing the Boy Scouts role in this. Getting a rifle and gun safety was normal for boys in the South (less so for girls). In fact, a ride on the gun rack in the truck on school property was fine where I gre up (rural South). But, here is what most households did not have: semiautomatic weapons because they were banned. Big difference between a deer rifle (stop and reload, parents made sure kids were old enough for real bullets and that kids were trained and that guns were secured). And an unsecured weapon of war, whose not use is hunting other human beings. Or 50 unsecured guns in a photos on the Christmas card.

I mean wow. Exhibit A. You have so many labels and diagnoses on your kids and have probably had them in counseling and therapy from birth and you likely are doing some things to amplify the very diagnoses they have received. Neither of your kids are heterosexual and maybe your late bloomer is asexual. I mean I feel like that’s a lot of focus on the sexuality —- and definitive labeling —- of kids going thru puberty. In my day almost every girl said she was bisexual for a while. Mean while almost all never actually hooked up with a girl and almost all married or settled down with men. It was trendy. Asexual is real but also trendy in part because these kids have been SO OVERWHELMED with discussions of sexuality and sexual identity. They can shut all that down by saying they are asexual. Let your kids be kids. They aren’t science projects or psychology experiments. You are literally the perfect example of why kids of liberals are often depressed. So much oppressive analyzing of the kids!! Aggh! |

I’m liberal but my kids don’t have mental problems. I made sure during the pandemic they hung out with their friends a couple of times a week. My kids are teenagers, who have great grades and work summer jobs that have them interact with a wide range of people in DC. One of my kids is friends with the child of an un-indicted person mentioned in the Jack Smith case. I just block it when I have to interact with the kid’s parents. |
