[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That photograph will follow them for the rest of their lives. [b] I doubt they are going to college[/b], but even beauty school will not accept them.  [/quote]

What a hateful thing to say.  [/quote]

Not really. Seems pretty accurate given the context. They are not aware of or interested in the world, per their own words - what's college for them?[/quote]

I agree - the first PP is accurate in her assessment.  These girls will not be going to college nor could they even get into college or they would not be trolling like this.  [/quote]

Or they could be like me who left a town similar to their Pennsylvania town and worked as a GS-2 in the government, took classes at the Dept of Agriculture and eventually ended up with an MBA and now run a department with 137 employees.  Most of these employees were like many of you who were given college tours, applied to as many schools as they wanted, had tuitions paid by parents or grandparents, had the 6 months post graduate tour of Europe, got into a top graduate program, and now work for me.

You were probably smarter and more worldly at 16 than these girls.

But by all means, reach out to them if you feel a kinship.[/quote]

I would but I don't have time to mentor more than the seven teenagers I cuurently see. As an African American I like to help people who are in the same situation I was in 30 years ago. You might think of mentoring young white women who are in your situation 30 years ago   You seem the kind, generous sort

It's nice of you to say that - but I actually don't take race into consideration when deciding who to help out. Except insofar my field has a real need for more racial and socioeconomic diversity, so we should encourage that.

Honestly, though, anyone who decides to help these girls is either going to throw them to the wolves by encouraging them to really dig in with this MAGA crap - using them as pawns in a pathetic partisan game - or else is going to be essentially performing social work. The girls don't seem particularly worthy of help, not bright or thoughtful; merely arrogant and incurious about the world around them. That's how they present themselves. I'm sure I'd have come across as a jackass at 16, too, so I am glad I didn't do anything then that would have gotten me on TV. Still, I can't see any valid reason anyone would take an interest in these kids except that they are in person trolls.[/quote]
