It would be pretty damn embarrasing, and I've seen worse actors who get paid millions. But, psychiatric help? Did he not watch the video before showing it to class? He was askin' for it, but I don't think that excuse the kids who made his life hell for the time.

Weird lawsuit, but not as weird as the guy who put auto pilot (cruise control) on in his RV, went to make a sandwich, ran right into a cornfield, and sued (and won) the RV company...

Or the burglar who sued (and won) the homeowner who he was robbing because when he came in through a skylight he fell on a knife on the kitchen table..../sigh

I know this guy and have played video games with him for over 2 years now. He belongs to a guild called The Ancient Order, hard core PvP players on the server Bloodfin that started in AC1. He is a very nice guy and has suffered through a lot of ridicule from people he never knew.

He never intended this video to go public, not even to friends. But if it were me and I felt that way, I would have burnt the tape after the taping JUST TO MAKE SURE it was destroyed.

i hate to be the bearer of bluntness...that kid needs to get over it.. "causing him to go into psychiatric care" wtf is that crap, if it was that popular and i made it i would be like Bad ass! even if kids made fun of me, wtf is this about psychiatric care thats BS he needs to suck up his tears and go on with life, thats just frickin lame

"Just because you can`t see me, doesn`t mean I`m not there..."

People's mental state or thier mind's ability to handle a certain amount of stress is different from person to person. Because you "believe" you would be able to walk away from a incident like this with no mental trauma DOES NOT mean another person would be able to do the same thing under the same circumstances.

It is easy for us to sit on the side lines and tell people to get over things, but it is a whole different story to that individual.

I am a Biological Scientist (virologist) at the University of Florida. I have spent a number of my years promoting biologically based behaviors (specially when it came to sexual behaviors as in the acts of "first contact" all the way up to sex as being behaviors we express, but never learned to do...in other words, we just knew how to do them without having been taught to do them). But there was one flaw in my "promotion"............how much nurture played in ones behavior, that sexual behavior isn't just some biological "program" that everyone follows, but a mixture of instinct and nurture. In other words, we may have the instinctual feeling to do something / not to do something, but since we were taught NOT to do it / to do it, we don't do it / do it.

So, the analogy is that people are NOT all the same, you are totally different than someone else (combination between biology and nuture). What works for you may not even come close to working for another person. In the end, we should learn to not judge someone based on our own standards (even though this is a HIGHLY biologically based thing to do).

At age 15, it is rough. Sexual maturity and competition leads to significant stress in a 15 year old's mind. Remember when you were 15? What "other" people thought about you at this age was extremely important to your self image. I know it was to me. Him, knowing he acted so foolishly on tape and it getting out into the public where LOTS of people would view this act of foolishness, IS LOTS OF STRESS. The "WHOLE WORLD" has access to his foolish performance. I don't know about you, but that would stress the hell out of me and I am 33.

Sorry this is so long

Very good, and interesting point Boti.
