Believe it or not...
Believe it or not, you were designed with a few unique characteristics which elevate you above the jungle food chain: (1) Self Consciousness
(awareness); (2) Mentality (capacity for rational thought); (3) Volition (free excercise of will); (4) Emotion (appreciations); (5) Conscience
(norms and standards); (6) Perception Apparatus (empiricism, rationalism, faith); (7) Time on Earth (opportunity to mature to full stature).
You wern't designed to bow your neck, become unteachable, wallow in decadence, moan and groan and complain. That was your decision.

Modern Health care is polluting the gene pool by keeping these people around long enough to procreate. Natural selection is being subverted. We are becoming a bunch of generalists instead of specialists.
There will be hell to pay.

On what authority do you base this opinion?
For a quick classroom excersise, go to an american football game and watch the crowd. Or go down to your local entertainment district when the bars close and watch the barbarism ensue.
If you come away with a different point of view than I, then perhaps you wouldn't mind being a boy named Sue too.

Does a car deviate from its design and suddenly grow wings and fly like a bird?
Does a lion deivate from its design and suddenly decide to become a vegan?
Why are humans considered a separate and distinct sub-set of all the other organisms on this planet. Why is "self destructive" behavior labelled as "deviant"??? It is neither deviate, nor "normal". It is simply another aspect of our overall design. We may choose to not exhibit certain aspects of our design capability, but those who do, should not be labelled as deviating from their design. They are simply acting out aspects of their design that differ from aspects of human design that other people have chosen to exhibit.
Always remember that you are unique....just like everybody else.
