Adolescent brains are vastly different to fully grown and developed ones. The rational part of a teen's brain isn't fully developed and behaviors experienced in late adolescence and early adulthood do not inform the way we will always think

Im certain she regrets things she's said. Like we all have. It was ill informed and stupid and immature. Get some perspective, the hyperbole of hate is ridiculous

In the nicest way possible, what a load of nonsense. These tweets aren’t even bordering on bigotry, they’re outright disgusting. She was old enough to have had years of good values instilled in her by those around her, if she wasn’t clever enough to learn for herself at 22/23 years of age. You are supporting / justifying hate.
