Actually it does not make me feel good at all. It does seem like breaking the rules, taking life threatening risks, and acting foolishly are not behaviors that I want teenagers, whose brains are still developing, to model. So when a person does those things, I personally, would refrain from calling that person a “role model”. My comment is entirely about that single phrase being used for these two unfortunate children.

Paula Crane, superintendent of Prairie Central Community Unit School District Number 8. “They were role models for all who knew them” — this quote is insane given their chosen actions led to their deaths. Maybe they were role models before their untimely demises but they lose that recognition when committing suicide by stupidity.
