Diary entry

Dear diary,

I’ve got so much to tell you. Yesterday, I found a cartoon. Junior drew it and the cartoon shows him. This wouldn’t be anything surprising if he had drawn a normal cartoon. But he drew an ugly person, a retard with unnormal arms, feet, legs and everything. I never thought that he thinks that bad about himself. I mean, I always knew, he’s not happy with his looking but I never thought that he hates himself that much. So I was almost shocked. Today, I went to him to talk about his feelings. I’m really not good at feelings but Junior’s my best friend and I felt like I need to tell him that he isn’t that poor and ugly retard he had drawn.

So I went to him and asked him about the cartoon. I think, he was kind of embaressed first but then he tried to cover up his emotions with being angry. To be honest; I would have reacted completely the same.

So… He got angry and told me that this cartoon is private and I should deal with my own buisness. After a while of talking to him and telling him that I’m his best and only friend, so he is my buisness, he kind of broke; he lost all of his angryness amd was just sad.

I’ve never seen a person being as sad as him in this moment.

So we started talking about his sadness and he began to tell me things, I couldn’t believe. He told me, he feels that ugly an unnormal because he never made his family proud; he always just has problems. He said, he feels that bad beacuse I’m  his only friend and he always thinks about why he only has one friend. So he came to the conclusion that he has to be a foolish retard. I tried to tell him that it’s better to have just one, but good friend instead of twenty that don’t really like you.

So, to sum up, I tried to convince Junior that he is a great boy and friend by telling him our cool stories and why he made them and my life great.

I hope, he feels better now!

See you soon

Rowdy
