Sorry stedric, but I think the word you were looking for ((rather then insensitive)) is realistic.

You don't know his full situation either so defending him means you're making just as many assumptions at whoever this guy was.

For most kids the best advice is: Live with your parents til they stop providing for you or it's time to grow up. ((An example of this is not when you're 15. You have some more years before you have to grow up, you should milk them for everything they're worth))

That's not to say that's true in every situation.

Anyway, good luck Penguin. Do what you think is best for you.
