Te'O

It's Sad What People Will Do For Attention!! In the Ron Mckelvey story, I really believe that everything he did was unnecessary, simply because you do not have to be a certain age to go to college or tryout for the football team. He could have enrolled and tried out as himself and if he was good enough ( and apparently he was) he would have made the team. The fact that he was deceitful and desperate shows that some people will do just about anything to get attention and fulfill their own selfish desires. The Te'O story is just plain sad. He was so desperate for attention that he went through the trouble of making up a fake girlfriend and telling the public she died six hours after his grandmother. That was extremely dramatic talk about an attention seeker!! But lets say I did believe his story for a moment. How could he be so gullible at his age? I know that people are mislead all the time online, but how can you allow yourself to fall head over heels for a person you have never met. Another reason why I believe he made his "girlfriend" up is because he said they went to Hawaii. How can you say you went somewhere together and when the public find out she is not real you claim to have no knowledge of that. It's up to the people to decide what they think of other people, but it is up to the individual to present to people who they really are. In my opinion they both were attention seeking individuals who would lie to fulfill their needs.
