Yeah...I just love how they made everyone in Eastern KY look like a bunch toothless, uneducated, pill heads....

As for Shawn, i'm going to school rite now on financial aid and scholarships...i myself have don't have much money to do the "fun" things, and i'm still here....there's absolutely no excuse....

As i have seen already, of course 20/20 isn't going to show the whole story...if they did...it wouldn't seem as bad....television and media for ya!!

Take it from an old guy who put his self through college while married after leaving the mines. Had it not been for my wife and the support of my family I could have been the same as Shawn. I came close to quiting several times. Without the support of my wife and family I would have never made it, Shawn did not have this. I am considered sucessful now and although I have worked hard to get here I would not have made it without the help of people who cared for me. Lets not be hard and play like we can make it through life without the help of others. Shawn deserves the same.
