lets not be HIM.
lets not be HIM.
I hoped there would have been enroled a long love story of three individuals........
what a twist!
who's dead? why ?
Twist
That was unexpected. I hope it has nothing to do with DeShaun. But I suspect the rapist.
I also expect the questioning of all involved. Good thing Dad is a lawyer.
Fun Fact.
The reporter and anchor people mentioned are people that work at the local CBS affiliate.
It doesn't seem to be
much support for individual going through the change, and in this universe there would be. Suicide is a very real risk. For those who ,really did not want to be Female, for such a dramatic change in human genetics It would seem other changes would be in order, such as an endorphin high.
Well, there is... but.
Casey is also kind of in denial. I mean there is a counselor at the school but Casey hasn't availed himself there. Nurse Betty gave Mom some information and resources. It just seems to me that Casey is going to try to deal with it on her own. Janie did say that she is seeing a therapist. Also, Casey has found resources that have gone through it in his mother and Janie.
Dangling in the wind
For the first twelve years of their lives, they have been boys who've heard about their possibly changing, if they are the recipient.
Then when it happens they are basically left dangling in the wind, not made to visit a counselor every day to help them with the transition. They aren't told what the will experience during the change, the aches and pain they will go through, or the mental fatigue they will experience.
Casey's mom is there for him, but only to a point, only when he freaks out or passes out. She should have him seeing someone each day after school to help coach him through this time in his life.
What two boys were found under the school bleachers? How were they killed? Was DeShaun involved, might one have been DeShaun?
Is their deaths involved with the rut? Might they have tried to rape a boy to keep their manhood and received their do?
The rut seems to be the base of a lot of problems which are left to fix themselves. Wouldn't finding a cure stop a lot of problems faced by many boys and others?
Others have feelings too.
Ultimately education is the responsibility of the parents.
Just like in our world. The birds and the um... other birds talk. Puberty is puberty. I didn't have a responsible mother, not one that cared for me. So I was blind-sided by my period. Some parents do a better job in educating their kids.
uh
oh
I'm so ashamed
What just came to my mind was Christian Slater's line from Heathers:
Also, it just hit me that, entering juvie as a rapo with two broken hands, Paul is in for a hard time.
Several hard times.
