Well said and I agree, L.J.

I didn't understand why everyone was calling him a spoiled brat when it was obvious that wasn't the reason this happened.

I still wonder if he had a good dog as a companion if he would have been better able to effectively deal with his issues of opposite sex rejection/loneliness.

I also think "the right" mentor could have helped.

All conjecture of course but that's all we have at this point to work with, I think.
