Your opinion won't change his life or do a damn thing for him. That money will though.
You're simply being a hater right now.

I guess I am.
The kid has a job. He's paying his own bills with his own money. But the American dream now is to take other people's money for negligible reasons, bordering on scamming people, because 'that's the game we're playing.' As if there's some requirement for all of us to be a litigious POS, according to you.
How about this: typically, if you injure a finger at work, the average compensation is about $2000-$5000. Is that enough, or do we need to charge more simply because the kid may have felt some embarrassment. The kid went to the hospital for what? A slightly scuffed butt? What's the ransom for that?
