I couldn't believe it when I read this today. He's only 13. I don't even know what to say really.
I don't really know why it being so close to home makes it more shocking, but somehow, it does.
Seriously though, 13. How could nobody have been that he was capable of something like this. There must have been some sort of signs. But maybe there weren't. I don't know. I'm just so shocked by it.
I wonder what'll happen to him after he recovers from surgery. What do you do with a kid that stabbed himself? How do you help? Could he go back to school? How could be go back to school? They don't know what would happen once he was there. Kids are horrible. But are they that horrible?
I don't even want to think about what his family are probably going through.
I hope he stays unnamed. Let the kid come out to some kind of normality. Not having his name recognised as the kid who stabbed himself would be a good start.
And what about the kids that saw it happen...? Words don't really do it. Do they..
