A lot of people in this world can relate to you kiddo. I remember I had a foster sister who used to cut herself. She associated pain with love and pleasure. Her mother beat her, and her brother and locked them in closets when they were very young. Those things actually do happen to many, many people in our country (America). Sometimes, if the kids are lucky, people intervene and put the kids into a foster family. She’d cut patterns like hearts and peace signs, and show them off like badges of honor, and the actual cutting gave her pleasure. Actually cutting is an emotional release for most people who do it. I remember seeing my “real” brother with several inches of scars of smaller cuts down his arm. He said he got tattoos on his arms to cover his cutting scars. People deal with things differently, and I chose healthier outlets. I can relate to this boy dreading high school, and having only one true friend to start it with, and for hating yourself because of the actions of others. My best friend, and foster brother was picked on for being gay in high-school. Yea just add that on top of his childhood traumas, and his mom putting him up for adoption at 13. It is hard to understand that the views, and actions of classmates are merely one perspective. There are many other views out there. Their perspective doesn’t truly reflect to who a person really is, but when a person is young and school age, they haven’t experienced the world outside what they have known since kindergarten. When you graduate, you have more freedom to choose what experiences you really want for yourself, and you’ll find that there are a number of different perspectives from person to person. I heard that every person serves to be a reflection of yourself, and that rejection is the result of rejecting a part of them self. I’ve heard everyone enters life to learn from their life experiences, and other people help them learn and vice versa, even if the experiences do not feel good.
Ok, for these little snarky videos. Hes a KID, YES they do silly things. They are fucking KIDS. It is so lame that a little video a KID makes out of boredom or whatever the hell hes feeling at the moment, would be used to trivialize a much more powerful medium of expression. Sounds like people are in denial. If I had a dime for ever troubled child in foster care that I’ve known who lied, or even compulsively lied I’d be rich as shit. Kids lie because of a deep routed desire for something they need to be full filled in their life. Even cries for attention to the point where children make up traumatizing experiences, are cries for HELP. They aren’t to be ignored.
