There comes a point in every teenager’s life when everything, simply put, sucks. School, friends, parents and everything else seems to have a deliberate and vicious agenda against your happiness. Problems – emotional, physical and intellectual – abound as we try to figure out who we are. As we enter adulthood, the goal is to become wiser, calmer, more logical and not so self-cen- tered. Unfortunately the parents of Kathleen Mulvey in Orland Park, Ill., seemed to have missed that step. Ashley Davis | News editor Kathleen Mulvey was a student at Carl Sandburg High know.
