I feel like a lot of people are missing the larger point of this story:  BE KIND.  Because everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle you know nothing about.<p>I&#x27;m not going to excuse her rant or her poor decision making skills as she navigates her way through life.  What I <i>am</i> going to sympathize with is the fact that she had a rough start in life and precious few examples around her to show her  how to make good vs. bad decisions.  I meet plenty of people like this; people who are unprepared for the rush of responsibility they carry when thrust out in the world to care for themselves.  Most of us at least know what we <i>should</i> be doing even if we don&#x27;t always do it.  We had an example.  I don&#x27;t think this young woman had that benefit and now she is learning the hard way all of the lessons she should have been learning long ago.<p>So may very well be a spoiled-brat entitled millennial, but I&#x27;m more inclined to suggest that her story is a lot more complicated than we&#x27;ve been led to believe, even given what we&#x27;ve learned about her upbringing from this article.<p>(Side note: one of my buddies is now retiring from the US Marine Corps; I didn&#x27;t find out until I heard from someone planning his retirement party that before he joined the Marines he&#x27;d been homeless.  When I tell you that he&#x27;s one of the most inspiring and intelligent people I know, I&#x27;m not exaggerating.  BE KIND.)
