emergency room wedgie > suicide
I don't see how what you posted contrasts what they were saying regarding strength in any way (I don't agree with the use of "manning up" but I see their general point). The boy is strong with help from his family (the family shouldn't wait for HIS strength to be strong FOR him) and he will get past this painful wedgie. He couldn't get past suicide.
