The commandment to honor parents and the blessing for it seem universal, even if the individual case might be difficult or impossible.

But I think this could be awkward if the youth had less-than-stellar parents, or were abusive, or simply encouraged a lifestyle not in harmony with the gospel.

I hope it wasn’t as insensitive then as it seems it would be now.
