To the massive group of high schoolers who were acting obnoxious during the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's closing ceremony--Why?

Smoking cigars, laughing, throwing footballs--all while there's a ceremony commemorating those who we've lost to suicide right in front of you.

I understand that it was your homecoming afterparty or whatever, but come on. That was unacceptable behavior.

As we’ve seen recently, rowdy groups of teens do what they want, no matter what is happening or who might be harmed.

Yeah, but in front of the suicide memorial? That's a bit extreme even for teenagers.

Is it? This honestly sounds like the low end of extreme things teenagers do, particularly in this city.

Unfortunately, I’m not even shocked. Beating on a lady and throwing her off the bus really drove home how groups of teens of the area really don’t care for anything but themselves and “clout” with their peers.

When kids commit aggravated assault, grand theft auto, and smoke weed in public areas without impunity, I’m afraid there are few things left to be surprised by.
