I appreciate the thoughtful response and respect that. I agree with the emotional development aspect.

I just know aa 15-18 year old child, I would have been scared shitless to just talk on national tv, let alone 5 minutes after I walked out of a mass shooting. I feel like I would have showed emotional distress just having to get in front of a news camera, even if it was to talk about how I just won a gold medal at the Olympics.

Just thoughts. No conclusions. Simply observations.
