At the bottom of the web page, you will see that it is the cover story in the Esquire print magazine (image of the cover shown).
The title on the cover is:
AN AMERICAN BOY
What it’s like to grow up white, middle class, and male in the era of social media,
school shootings, toxic masculinity, #MeToo, and a divided country
Perhaps the story is not of interest to the forum bubble of the “upper middle class” families who will not get college financial aid for their kids, and whose kids are chasing AP courses, valedictorian status, SAT/ACT scores, extracurriculars, and recommendations in order to get into a prestigious private college from which they will use as a stepping stone to management consulting, Wall Street, or medical school.
One example of how different the forum bubble is: The profiled high school student’s post-graduation plans involve gap years to work at the local water utility while living at home to save money before attending college for a four year degree. That is very different from the kind of gap years commonly discussed on these forums.
