Since you are upset I belittled you, yet you did the same thing to her.

"Give me a break, just the culture these kids are brought up in now, if anyone hasn't noticed but she is not the first Olympian, just the first to bail on her team."

Seriously, you just stereotyped and belittled her when you have no clue what else might be going on behind the scenes, plus I am 58 years old, so add your crack about "my generation" to your way off base assumptions, you can of course respond with an "okay boomer" and that would be fine.

Having mental health issue doesn't make you soft. That mind set is why I as a veteran and my active duty son are involved in project 22. Because for too long people like you put a stigma on mental health as being soft and weak, which is why suicide rates in the military are so high. Many men and women feel like they can't ask for help and that stigma needs to change. And yes, the military and elite level of gymnastics are two completely different things, but the point remains, you have no place to judge the mental well being of another.

She is not a hero for what she did as some are trying to make her, she is a human. And like any human she has flaws and vulnerabilities and deserves compassion and not stereotyping. And if showing compassion makes me soft, I'll take it, but to me the inability to show compassion to your fellow humans is what makes a person weak.
