Identifying the cause of negative outcomes

Hopefully, I'll get to the Ruth Ellis Center tonight. The forecast is for another snowstorm to start early evening. This is the third week in a row with a Tuesday snowstorm. The previous two made a mess of the evening rush hour. It hasn't started snowing yet and, at the moment, the sun is shining.

Some research that is important. San Francisco State University's Family Acceptance Project released the results of a study, saying the reactions of the parents are a big influence in whether a gay teen commits suicide. Next the FAP will shift focus from "negative outcomes" to how families can prevent suicide. A big part of that is being able to tell parents you love your child, don't you? You want the best for them. For example, sending them to an ex-gay camp isn't best -- it's a waste of money and will only traumatize your kid.
