The Consequences

Well, Butch? Is it still 'just a joke'? Is it still as funny now that Jake might not wake up tomorrow? Because that's what you will say to your classmates. That's what you will say in the principal's office. That’s what you will say in the police investigation. Because you don't know the statistics; 4,400 deaths per year, 100 attempts for those.

I just had to draw this after experiencing first-hand how judgemental people can be. Okay, I know I'm no exception; I'm currently having trouble spending time in a room with my dad. I found out he's a homophobe, and he already made A LOT of racist comments about Arabian people. Basically everything that would make me cut any other person out of my life. But the law still says I have the right to give my opinion; people should not judge before they know how the life of a person is. A teacher pretty much publicly humiliated me in front of my classmates while I was out of the classroom for a bit. He didn't do it on purpose, but damn, I could just shove him off the roof when he told me what he said last week. I mind myself in public NOT to make a complete ass out of myself and he just goes ahead and does it for me. I just see people silently judging me, and know they're saying terrible things behind my back for something THAT small. I tell myself they don't know about my life, but that really doesn't make the situation any better. I just lost every chance at social contact with my classmates AGAIN, and I actually had one here.

Just on a little side-note; I'M OFF THE SUICIDAL THOUGHTS FOR SIX YEARS. This does not depict how I want to react to the situation at all, just how Jake reacts to the judgement and nasty comments of HIS classmates. I wanted to show the consequences bullying can have and has more then people know. The statistics I used in this descriptions are real. Don't worry about me, since I have too much to live for.

EDIT: This WILL get a follow-up based on the comments I get on this.
