3 days ago, my friend came up to me and told me that his dad was beating on him. He acted like it was nothing and he was laughing while telling me the story. Him along with two friends were at the park, he dad came and picked him up and he had never heard his dad yell at him so loud before. When they got home his dad pushed him down to the ground and then he got up and punched his dad in the face. His dad then kicked him in the ribs and he fell to the ground. He has bruises all along his ribcage and he’s in pain. He told me this story and acted as if nothing was wrong, like it was no big deal, but maybe he wants people to care. Maybe this is how he is getting things out and how he wants help. Acting like he doesn’t need help or anything, but deep down he obviously does. I don’t know what to do for him, both his parents and his older sister who is in high school all do drugs. They personally give him drugs themselves. My friend, he has done close to every drug, he’s so small because of all of it. He hangs around the wrong people and he does bad things. If you met this kid and had no idea what his past was, you’d think he was a good kid because he has the most wonderful personality ever. He’s one of the nicest kid’s I’ve ever met in my life and I go to him for a lot. He is definitely not someone that i would hang around with outside of school because of what he does, but I full out understand what position he is in, and he needs someone’s help. No kid deserves to ruin their life like that, it’s not right. His life needs to be changed, either by me or someone else.
