Congratulations graduates! My son Danny graduated from 8th grade on Friday. He respectfully asked that his dad and I not attend the ceremony because he was giving a speech and didn't want us to embarrass him. What?? Moi??? So, Danny ends up getting 2 awards during the ceremony and we weren't there to see it. Grrrrr. All because I may have embarrassed him with my enthusiasm. Hmpff. Wanna talk about embarrassing your kids? Read this next story:=

A school year full of embarrassment has finally come to an end for one Utah teen. Dale Price would wave goodbye to his son at the bus stop every morning while wearing a costume. Dale's son, Rain, says he was in "shock" the first day of class, but adds that many of the other kids enjoyed his dad's outfits. Dale says that his unique outfits were a fun way of expressing his love for his child, adding, quote, "I hope this lives with him for the rest of his life." Oh I'm sure it will. I'm sure it will. To see all of Dale's costumes, visit their family blog here.=

Long-term health factors may be to blame, but brain explosions in young people could also have more immediate signs. Check here for the 4 Triggers of Strokes in Young Men.
