Louisiana teen still lost at sea after jumping off cruise ship in Bahamas | LiveNOW from FOX

[@jefflu6158]

What is so tragic about this story is that in a split moment of trying to please others, this kid gave up his short life in this world. Listen all you young kids out there, do not try to please anyone because not everyone has your best interests at heart.

[@pattih7]

[@trentbulen3854]

I honestly want to know how long someone can be in a open body of water like that before they get to tired to go on. No land in sight to swim to. Also how do you end your life in a body of water. Do you just wait until you sink and drown? After you drown does your body sink to the bottom? So many things run through my head thinking about this. This is my worst fear

[@Fallibleandflawed]

That's what I was thinking. What an actual nightmare.

[@MichaelLawrenceMagic]

@@trentbulen3854 the best way to end it would probably be to swim down until you can't keep going, you'll then have no choice but to drown, I wouldn't do that personally. Looks like a shark ate this guy before he had time to worry about all that.

[@sunitamosesesq]

​@Trent Bulen They weren't very far out. It was like a party cruise. The water was about 16ft deep, I read. Rip currents are possible. But I don't think he waited there or felt loss. Something more sudden happened to him. It's such a horribly sad story.

[@oahuhawaii2141]

[@chrisgullett4332]

Nobody dared him into anything, he did it because he wanted to do it. Hard to feel bad for someone that did something so stupid. He did this, and only he is responsible for his actions. You gotta be pretty dumb to jump off of a boat in the middle of the ocean. The thirst for praise for doing dumb things is strong. Being egged on to do dumb things by others that would never be dumb enough to do those things, is pure comedy gold. The only life lesson is if people are daring you to do something, it means they think you are dumb enough to do it, and if you do it, then you prove their point. If jumping off a boat is so cool, then how come nobody else jumped off? Maybe he should've asked that before jumping.

This is an explanation of why teenagers do risky things without thinking about the consequences. Their prefrontal cortex has not fully developed. It doesn’t fully develop until the age of 25. That’s why when we all think back about stupid stuff that we did as teens, or even young adults, we shutter to think about what could’ve happened to us in hindsight. Research has found that adult and teen brains work differently. Adults think with the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s rational part. This is the part of the brain that responds to situations with good judgment and an awareness of long-term consequences. Teens process information with the amygdala. This is the emotional part. That’s why you jumped with no hesitation when you were 18 bc you weren’t thinking with the rational part of your brain. I could’ve died so many times from stupidity as a teen and young adult. I thank god that I’m still here today!

If being converted to shark/fish poop lying on the ocean floor is resting in peace, I'd say we have very different views of what "peace" is. No offense to the kid. Kids do some dumb things until their brains are fully developed...like 25-28 years old. Maybe cruise ships should have a faster rescue dispatch for overboard guests. I've seen ships/ferries with watertight door openings at sea level where a Sea-Doo could quickly launch and and get to the overboard guest instead of people just recording their unfortunate demise from the deck. I mean...WTF??

When I think about being alone in the middle of a dark ocean, my mind panics. The fear that at any time you could be eaten by a shark. Or knowing you have to sleep at some point, when you do you’re going to die. Or starve/die of thirst… it’s terrifying.

Think about this, they have searched longer for people who went missing in situations just like this, more than likely the investigators found that he was eaten by an animal, especially if it’s clear that a shark was around, at night there more aggressive because that’s when they feed the most, and depending on the species, they are also pack animals.
