18. The "punking out" meme, however, is in fact one way of coping.

If it helps a person find the strength to go on, fine. I just resent its being presented as an absolute, one-size-fits-all solution. It can be a great source of strength, but the concept of strength itself may be meaningless in the face of the pain some people live with.
