    I was talking to my partner about my school years, the stupid shit we got up to at my public school, and how it differs from his experience at a private Catholic school (prep to year 12).

    I remember one of the boys in my French class locking our Mauritian teacher out of the classroom multiple times, then he threw a banana at the ceiling fan causing it to splatter around.

    I also remember a fight where one kid picked up a drain cover and smashed it over the head of the other kid.

    And Olivia Penpraze. I went to primary school and highschool with her, before she changed schools. We weren’t friends, but we have experienced very similar things, and I wonder how close we could have been, and how easily our places could have been swapped.

    Just memories and regrets now.

    RIP Olivia.

      On the last point, it’s always really fucked how that goes, and I hope it doesn’t weigh on you too much. When that 16 year old kid was murdered at Sunshine station (and also the 14 year old who was murdered in St Albans near Ginnifer station) it really affected me because I’m also 16, and I’ve been in the exact same place at almost the same time of day as they were. I’ve walked to and from train stations at the same time as they did, there was fuck all difference between us, and had the murderers gone after me instead of them, I would’ve been the one who died, not them

        I try not to think of my school years without the guidance of a therapist,

        I almost didn’t survive it, in spite of my repeated attempts to leave this mortal coil

        haha

        It pleases me immensely that you are still here with us, but I am sorry that you are filled with fear at your age. It’s terrifying wondering whether something will happen to us, especially when it has happened to our peers.

        You seem like you have a good head on you, as long as you keep your ears and eyes open you will be okay. As an afab in brunny, living close to where Jill lost her life, I never wear headphones or go out drunk by myself. But even that doesn’t stop us from falling prey to those with ill intentions. We can only enjoy the life we have right now, and be thankful we are here to see the sunrise.

        I’m sure you are not alone in your fears, and they are valid fears, but try not to let them rule you or change you too much. <3

        Baku, you are not a member of a gang. So your risk is so very small.
