Thursday 😉

    Mr. Keaton can not be blamed for Neil's decision to end his life. Mr. Keaton only helped Neil to emphasize how crappy Neil's life was indirectly through lessons. Even that however is debatable. Suicide is a choice that one man makes for himself, as is smoking, sleeping around or making all A's. NO ONE can take responsibility for that death. I believe that anyone who would commit such an action, at such a young age, already had it in him.
     The bravest of the boys, I believe was Neil, he pushed through and made some really bold decisions to get what he wanted and he reached them, not long term but he did enjoy a rather short lived victory. Funny thing is that i also think he was the coward in it all. Yes, he pushed hard but after he had been shot down by his father, he saw no way out to live his dreams and he made the decision to end it all. Kudos (I think that is how you spell it) to him though, he had quite the dramatic exit. 
    I do not recall this part of the movie however I will say that sometimes adults and people in general when wanting to urge someone to do something. that may not be supported by others, they do little things. Little things like looking the other way or tell you things without "telling you." It is simply a method of doing things without getting your hands dirty.
