Byron is a stressed adolescent from a dysfunctional family. His dad died when he was 13. They had been very close, so when his mom remarried about a year later, Byron had a hard time adjusting to the new home environment. His Mom who is considered to be loving suddenly changed upon the death of his Dad. She never shows care and sympathy to him for both of them are still grieving. Byron is so annoyed seeing his Mom cuddled by his stepdad. He was always sad and in argument with his Mom. Their communication became complicated until he found himself in a dark environment.
His stepdad talked about how much God loved him, but Byron didn't want to hear it... just like he didn't want to hear the teachers in the school assembly say “things get better; that suicide nor drugs is not the answer”. Byron had lived through the years of anger, pain, and emptiness looking for better. It didn't exist.
Byron separated himself from reality and from the people who loved him. "There were people in my life that cared about me," he said. "The way I wrote to them in my suicide letters was so deep. Why couldn't I go to them and say, 'I am about to kill myself. I need your help'? The world of drugs separated me from my relationship with them."
As he lay in bed that night, he felt tired. Tired of the pressure. Tired of the anger. Tired of the hurt. Tired of living. The death of his father was so traumatic to him.
He got out of bed and put on his best clothes. He wrote his will and good-bye letters to his family and friends. He was so angry at his father for dying early, he decided to kill himself over his father's grave. Byron sat in the cemetery with his friend's rifle under his chin. He tried to pull the trigger, but couldn't. He tried again and again. Completely frustrated with himself, he threw a bottle of liquor and say, “what am I doing?. Then he put the rifle under his chin and pulled the trigger again but didn’t work.
After sometime, he realized what his step-dad told him how much God loved him. He looked back at the graveyard with teary eyed and whisper, “Lord help me.” A day after, he came to you for counseling (as referred by his friend), related the whole story as written.

Sternberg and Gardner have proposed multiple-intelligence theories against traditional theories that focused on a single view of intelligence. Critics of multiple-intelligence theories ask whether every specialized skill must have a separate intelligence. On the other hand, studies of the brain have shown that it processes different categories of data in different parts of the brain. Do you think that the evolutionary psychology approach answers the criticism leveled against multiple-intelligence approaches? Research information on how the human brain processes different categories of data in different parts of the brain. Use two or more resources please.
