Kevin Had Serious, Serious Issues

I am 25 years old and I still cry because other people don't like me. I don't do it in public, but I do have those times.

I was just as bad when I was Kevin's age. I had serious anxiety issues however I was a perfectionist at the same time. The lightest issue in front of other people caused by to flip out. As I got older I sort of outgrew it but still I have issues with the same type of anxiety.

Whatever,but you seem so self-centered to judge everything else, even a fictitious movie by your own life? I tell you, you'd make a crappy parent. Go read some books by doctors about child-rearing ... a lot of kids do things like this because they have an underlying medical problem. Stop dwelling on just your own point of view, you don't know everything, and in fact it sound like you know less than normal, and you have a tendency to talk about what you know less of.

It's realistic. I find this movie unbearably painful to watch because I see myself being like Kevin (maybe even worse), with a case of emotional imbalance and Aspergers, among other things. It did not turn out so well for me in the end.

"You keep him in here, and make sure HE dosen't leave!"

The kid was two steps away from donning a dress and strangling several prostitutes...

"Damn you Weatherby Savings and loan, I spit at you!"

I totally identified with Kevin - when this movie came out and now. I was a kid like Kevin. He has anxiety. It's actually pretty common. Kids with anxiety worry about all kinds of things and they get extremely upset when things don't go the way they thought they would. They put a lot of pressure on themselves to make everything right. So yes, losing his retainer would have been a BIG BIG BIG deal to a kid like Kevin. Had I done something like that at that age, I probably would not have slept for days.

He doesn't need to be in a mental hospital, he needs adults who understand that he deals with anxiety and he needs to learn coping skills to manage it.

We understand these things now. In 1989 we were only beginning to understand what anxiety in children was.

he wasn't mentally disturbed he was just a very sensitive child, I was that way when I was a kid, I cried all the time and acted a lot like kevin did bit I grew out of it just like kevin did
