Many Bangaloreans welcome the admission of Kevin Keller, a gay student, into the Archie comics landscape.
Kevin is the first ever openly gay student at Riverdale High, created as a harmlessly fun American school 70 years ago. Last week, the company said Veronica #202 would feature Kevin, a good-looking boy immune to the rich girl’s charms. “She’s not so bad,” Kevin tells classmate Jughead. “I’m just not interested in dating her… It’s nothing against her. I’m gay.”
While there are no official tallies of parents whose adult children have cut them off, there is no shortage of headlines. The Olympic gold medal skier Lindsey Vonn reportedly hasn’t spoken to her father in at least four years. The actor Jon Voight and his daughter, Angelina Jolie, were photographed together in February for the first time since they were estranged in 2002.
A number of Web sites and online chat rooms are devoted to the issue, with heartbreaking tales of children who refuse their parents’ phone calls and e-mail and won’t let them see grandchildren. Some parents seek grief counseling, while others fall into depression and even contemplate suicide.

It will be called Collier House.
Mount Carmel, a few miles north of Clark, is a youth home for at-risk adolescent boys.
Collier was abusing drugs and alcohol, but the ranch reformed him, Barcus said.

The Office of Postsecondary Education, which is a branch of the U.S. Department of Education, states that there were four forcible sexual offenses on the Quinnipiac University Mount Carmel campus in 2006, and two each in 2007 and 2008. They further claim there were no non-forcible incidents in said years, but these numbers only account for reported incidents. Professors Lori Sudderth, Penny Leisring and Eric Bronson conducted a study of Quinnipiac students in May 2006 which indicated otherwise. Of the 333 female students who participated in the study, about 30 percent said they had experienced an instance of attempted rape, unwanted sexual activity or forced intercourse; more alarmingly 9.3 percent of the female respondents claimed they had been raped while attending Quinnipiac. In fact, about 13 percent of the participants experienced one type of abuse, whether physical, sexual or emotional, as a Quinnipiac student.
