And I still think that most people don't need a "Bryce" problem to take the step that Hannah took.
Most people don't have a Bryce in their lives and still they give up.
The biggest reasons why Hannah killed herself are Jessica and Alex. They were her friends in the new place. They let petty jealousy and lust to come in between their friendship.
Friends as such break our confidence and desire to live, especially when we are from a middle class background.
My friend, who is preparing for the UPSC CSE exam, saw a video and told me about it. The trainer in her video spoke how to actually clear difficult examinations, parents need to not burden their wards with their problems.
Haa! Good one.
That is what my parents do on a daily basis, sometimes, more than once in a day. They even ask me to fight with the other parent to prove they are right.
Just recently, maybe 2 or 3 days back, I woke up to my parents fighting and my father brought the fight to my room. First, he just sat on my bed, while my mother was standing just inside the door and they were shouting at each other. Soon, my father started involving me in a fight I knew nothing about and my mother followed the lead, both wanting me to speak against the other parent.
Actually, when my father involved me in the fight, I was shocked because usually, it is my mother's favorite job.
Then there is Mr. Potter of the show. He is practically everyone I ever opened up to. My friends have a habit of scolding me for not sharing about my life to them, but when I do, they don't believe me.
The ones who do believe that I ain't lying, they think I am saying such things about my life because I misunderstood.
And you know, Mr. Potter was the last blow on the nail.
But don't worry, I won't take the step, Hannah took.
