I know his story really is amazing! don't worry, I didn't think you were judging him.. I was just explaining some of the reasons that I hope he pulls through.
Ryan mentioned his deafness and diabetes on one of the idol shows (they thought it was amazing, because he can't even hear himself sing in one ear. granted, I can't sing at all, but I've heard that not hearing yourself makes singing so much harder), but I saw the interview with his mother on the news. She had mentioned that nothing ever made him happy, and that she was so worried about him being unhappy for life. Although she also mentioned that he was in and out of hospitals for his whole childhood bc of his ears and diabetes so I think that that probably influenced his poor childhood.
As for Chris, I loved him too.. elliot was always my fave but chris and ace were close seconds. I also liked bucky, but I think that I was one of the only ones that really did
Anyways, thanks for the vote of confidence in my psychology ability! I'm hoping that I turn out to be a great one as well
