2. When I was 20, I worried about letting down

my family and others, too. I can't imagine the stress and expectations placed on him.

Getting his car keyed and being harassed for having an opinion, expressed spontaneously, is just BS. The comments deriding him for his tweet are overreactions. It would be best if he stayed off Twitter and Facebook. There will always be someone wanting to tear him down. He needs to concentrate on his studies, playing football, keeping his cool and his head on straight. Focus on what's important.

I think his father should lie low as well.
