[quote=Anonymous]OP I hear you and we have experienced this too with racist comments. The thing is teenagers can be idiots. I would not hold a grudge. I think the best approach is education. If it is brought up my concern would be making sure he understands why it was problematic, but I would give grace and hope others do the same when your kids do something idiotic and rude.

I hear you about the way he died. It's frustrating when you know it was extremely dangerous, but parenting is complicated. I have a cousin who's kid does extreme skiing and LOVES it. We have friends who were hesitant to let their daughter fully develop her talent in gymnastics and it's amazing to watch her, but it makes me quite anxious even though it brings her joy. If the child loved the sport then I would find peace. If the child had been pushed into the sport then I would really be unable to deal with seeing the parents, even my own sibling. So if this teen died pursuing a true passion I hope you will find peace and respect the parents for supporting it.[/quote]
