Good Christian Girl died of overdose

[Ancalagon44]

Reminds me of the poster child for abstinence only sexual education, Sarah Palin's daughter.....


....getting knocked up at least twice by different men, all while unmarried.

Which is okay, it's okay to be average. They made a good life for themselves despite being average, because they clung to their Christian culture.

Take your elitist bullshit nonsense elsewhere. Despite being average... you're an asshole.

Redacted, not commenting on the thread or I would sound overly sarcastic.

Drugs are bad mmkay

What does her being Christian have to do anything with her OD'ing? Could just be someone with less information who accidentally took too much. Can happen to anybody, I think.

Because clearly the fact that she was a "christian" is what led her to OD.

What does her being Christian have to do anything with her OD'ing?

I think the premise is of moral values and living up to God's plan.

Thing is, you have former drug users who turn to God. LOL Then some are like in your face about it too!

Slippery slopes. It was heroin.

I knew a lot of "good" Mormon girls when I lived in Clearfield for a year. I think sometimes when you pressure your kids with religious bullshit they have a tendency to rebel. So you play it safe and let them kinda learn their own lessons and act as a good mediary. What I mean by that is you keep them on a lease, but let some slack out.

They let you lease girls where you live?

 

[John Connor]

HAHAHA Oops! The word, as you know what I meant was LEASH!

 

[MaxDepth]

Yes, the Baptist minister's daughter was too wild for me. And I thought myself to be the local hedonist too. As Wednesday Addams said, [when asked what she's going as for Halloween] "I'm a homicidal maniac. I look like everyone else."

I don't know about you, but when I grew up, all of those good christian girls were crazy fun.

Yeah, I think this is really condescending.

Isn't addiction really about loneliness and lack of love? As long as the families can provide attention and love and instill a sense of responsibility they will do fine.

That works for many, but there is no one answer. Lots of drug addicts come from the most caring and loving families imaginable. I know several, including my brother.

If you are arguing that family love and God is enough, I am suggest it may not be when parents don't teach their kids how the world really works because of their faith.

You sound reasonable and we don't think we disagree on kids needing life skills in addition to any religious teachings. The penalty for not doing so is too great.

 

[Ruptga]

No one answer? Pshaw, addiction means the family failed, depression means they're just sad, ADHD means a lack of firm discipline... It's all so simple!

If you have a simple mind that needs simple answers, anyway.

Very true Ruptga. The dynamic situational motivations pushing people to drugs like Heroin are not straight forward, cut and dry, simple answers. There's some commonalities in many cases, such as beginning with completely legal prescriptions. But for anyone who's been involved with more than one person and drug addiction, it's easy to see how vastly different scenario's can be. Simple minded people crave simple minded answers, it helps get them through the day.
