Expecting to Die Young

Fifteen per cent of teenagers expect to die young:

‘Teenagers who engage in risky behavior may do so because they believe they’re going to die young anyway, and may create a self-fulfilling prophecy with that belief, reports the Minneapolis Star Tribune. A study that tracked 20,000 kids in grades 7 through 12 found that 15% thought they would die before the age of 35. That group was seven times more likely to be diagnosed with AIDS.

The fatalistic group was also more likely to do drugs, attempt suicide and get into fights that led to serious injuries. A pessimistic outlook was more common among Native American, black, and low-income teens, according to the study.’

I wouldn’t be surprised if the stats go higher as years go by.

Michael J Most Revealed

If you want to see the most revealing article on Michael Jackson’s death, see Steven Eidman’s post:
‘The Most Revealing Article on the Last Days of Michael Jackson’
Here is an excerpt from the post:

‘It’s not working out,’ Jackson said. ‘I’m better off dead. I don’t have anywhere left to turn. I’m done.’
Michael’s closest confidante told me just two hours after he died that ‘Michael was tired of living. He was a complete wreck for years and now he can finally be in a better place. People around him fed him drugs to keep him on their side. They should be held accountable.’

The big question now is: Who are those ‘people’?
