I have a suspicion the parents are the source cause of her depression

As I have seen in clinic, there can be a fine line between being supportive vs. enabling dysfunctional behavior.

Unfortunately I think this young lady is at a really high risk of suicide.

She's pretty clearly struggling with her mental health, and the particular target of her focus is unlikely to actually be solved by our politicians even if they wanted to.  I suspect that those factors, coupled with the issues that being a young person catapulted into fame normally bring spells a really hard couple years coming up for her.

I hope I'm wrong, but she sure hits a whole lot of the warning boxes they teach us to look for.

"Unfortunately I think this young lady is at a really high risk of suicide."

Why? Does she know something about the Clintons?

I actually thought of that as I typed my post.

But no, I'm serious.  She shows several classic signs of being at risk, and no one seems to be considering her welfare in this whole thing.  Which is sad, and has consequences.

I can see the suicide risk. Especially if her UN speech was heartfelt. Some have said she was acting, but if that was her true emotion at the time, this is a young girl for whom failure may be too much to bear.

I hope that doesn't happen.  The sad side of that is that the political activists who are using her now to support their agenda will not hesitate to use her death for their agenda as well.

I bet there's a contingent on the green/left that is hoping she dies, regardless of cause, but with bonus points for one related to her activism.  Sort of the reverse Obi-Wan.  "She'll be far more powerful in death than in life."

She is right that her "dreams and childhood" were stolen.  But they were stolen by her parents, and the others that encouraged the hysteria over globular woerming.  Not by the beaurocrats of the UN or us on the "denier" side.

They'll use her death as an excuse to cram something in and name it after her for the emotions.

Children are frequently used as weapons by ideologues of every stripe.

The whole thing has been pretty depressing to watch unfold.

She is being ma marketed as a martyr to the cause already.

The concern expressed here is consistent with where the story arc they are promoting is heading.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Does this surprise anyone?


Certainly not me.

Read those op-eds she "wrote".  Now, I'll grant that Americans are generally poor writers relative to Europeans, but those articles do not read like a 16 year old whose been skipping school for 2 years and has a number of self-professed learning disabilities was the actual author.

I'm actually interested in the connections of the other guy who does the updates along with her father. Follow the money, as they say.
