I see your point. However, you can't completely lose your humanity because you're living in tough circumstances. Remember Abbey said that she was trying to make sure that they DESERVED to survive? She was right. Finn was right, too, in his effort to do better than the first time that ended in a nuclear apocalypse. It's too bad that he was overwhelmed and broken by the hatred and violence. If only there had been more like him and less like Indra, the world would have been a better place.

Of course, that wasn't the case. But even in those circumstances, you can't live by Bellamy's "Whatever the hell we want" either. You have to maintain some semblance of a civilized society or there will be total chaos. Mankind will devolve.

I think that on the Ark, there should have been time for counseling someone like Charlotte. What else did they have to do? They had school and training, after all.

On the ground, it would have been difficult for those kids. But look what one scolding did for Charlotte. Kids want proper guidance and direction. If not Clarke, surely someone could have taken that child under their wings and helped her cope, if only for a few minutes a day.
