Outward Beared
CNN.com - Teen successfully fights off bear - Apr 27, 2004
So this 15-year-old kid gets sent to Alaska as part of a wilderness expedition for "emotionally troubled youths". And he gets attacked by a 400-pound bear. I'm sure he won't have any emotional problems now!
The boy was bitten in the forearm and back, but managed to punch the bear enough to get her to let him go. He then got chased around a stand of trees until the boy woke the rest of the camp with an air horn; counselors blasted the bear with pepper spray and fired a flare at her feet, and she ran away.
Have you ever noticed that the word "youth" is never used except when referring to troubled teens of some ilk?
