It's a very good book, the author's father was in a Nazi camp and he grew up seeing the effects and later became a therapist specializing in trauma research. Cow Moorica fuck yeah shirt. I agree the shirt is in poor taste but this is innocuous compared to the media they consume or the whole meme culture around joking about suicide that teens have going on. I just noticed at first glance. Look at the shitty show 13 Reasons Why which glorifies suicide as some sort of revenge. Listen to the lyrics of half the top 40 songs out there all about anxiety and depression and prescription drug abuse. This shirt innocuous compared to...

This is some textbook helicopter parent shit if I’ve ever seen it. Op is not upset because the shirt is dishonoring Kurt Cobain’s memory. Anyone can shit on the content of that shirt (or any art) but Nirvana and Kurt Cobain have transcended music and have become a cultural icon, I doubt this girl meant to glorify Kurt’s suicide or suicide in general by wearing it. Drinkin Life Lincoln vintage shirt. This girl is in the middle of the quintessential “angsty” phase. She may have just liked the shirt and design and knows nirvana/Kurt are very in right now.

You certainly have the right to choose what kind of message you want to send. In this case, though, it was your daughter’s friend, so things are a bit more delicate. You could have gone nuclear,...

This comment sums it up perfectly. NAH—OP probably didn’t do her daughter any social favors, but it’s completely reasonable to be distraught by that shirt and OP handled it as gracefully as she could have. I don’t like corn dog but I do like Korn Dawg shirt. NTA - Even if I wasn't a fan of the man's work, wearing anyone's suicide note to express your rebellious teenage bullshit is offensive, truly the choice of an asshole or someone who hasn't thought enough about it to realize that they're an asshole. Yes, it was her choice to wear it but you sure don't have to take her out wearing it. Maybe; it depends on tone.
