OT-Teen drops out of school to play guitar hero full time

[bluejeangirl76]

isnt that what Neal did

Which thing? Inbreeding or child molesting?

That and dropped out of school to play guitar god

You're almost validating this weird ass story with comments like that.

Wow.

On one hand... yeah playing competitively and earning money.... nice deal, but that should be a SIDE thing. The kid still needs to be in school. Those parents are whacked for allowing that to happen.

I agree - but then you could levy the same charge at tennis parents, swimming, modeling etc etc.....

Yes, true. And I *do* levy said charge. All those things are totally fine, but to devote so much time to something like that, where education either suffers or falls to the wayside completely, is just wrong. Yeah, you do have your success stories, but not every kid who dumps school to play guitar is gonna become a Neal Schon.

Anything can happen to disrupt those things and with no schooling, what is there to fall back on.

We aren't even talking a REAL guitar. This is a plastic guitar with buttons on it.
