[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too soon and awkward.   But we need to stop kids from thinking they all can quit their jobs, sell what little possessions they own, and become “influencers.”   That market is already super saturated. It’s harsh, but YouTube shouldn’t  glorify two Publix baggers that drive into the desert and watch as bad things happen. [/quote]
Kids? They were 22 and 23. Exactly how do you propose we stop them from doing anything?[/quote]

How do we all have good heads on our shoulders? It must be something to do with parenting. My parents and my inlaws collectively raised 5 children to be fully self sufficient immediately after college and not date/marry losers. That can’t be all luck. [/quote]

Sure it can. I know multiple families in which two kids are successful and a third or fourth, as you put it, dates and marries losers. All sorts of birth orders. Personally I feel grateful not to have fallen in love with an abusive asshole. Not everyone is so lucky or has the strength to free themselves. Especially at 22.[/quote]

Some of it is luck. A lot of it is smart choices and doses of reality from parents. For starters, not graduating college was not an option. Living in the basement for more than a transitional month or two was not an option. [/quote]

You really think graduating from college determines whether women fall prey to abusers and murderers?[/quote]

No. But I think it’s a problem that this girl’s entire self worth was attached to her loser boyfriend and her YouTube channel. Parents who think there is no harm in social media pay attention.
