I have taught so many teens. Think about yourself at her age. Imagine yourself confronted by cameras and THE question.

I don’t really care about the question or the answer. I do, however, care about the overreaction to the answer. It has been an over-reaction. Give the kid a break- and she is a kid.

I agree with you completely. When I was a teenager, I was prone to stage fright. There is no telling what I would have said in her situation.

Thankfully I got over it eventually.

She might be intellingent and just got flustered. It certainly happens.

You keep going off on that 'She's just a kid' bit. She is a young woman, capable of bearing young, and would have probably been married and doing just that not too long ago, before this PC 'She's a kid' mantra.

'Kids' her age went across the American plains in wagons, 'kids' her age worked in defence plants 60 years ago... the idea that her being a 'kid' in a Socialist construct which you have bought into. I know you hate to believe this, this she is a typical product of our government schools, taught by women who call them kids.
