Beaten at home, bullied at school... At home, he is called a failure. He can't keep up with tests, studies, or sports. His mother hits him often. His back, thighs, and other hidden areas are covered in bruises. At school, he has been targeted by the class leader and is being bullied. His indoor shoes are thrown in the trash, and his desk is covered in graffiti. At his worst, he's had his face shoved into a toilet or been physically beaten. The teachers just look the other way.

I climb the stairs to the rooftop one step at a time. Usually my feet feel heavy, but the thought of finally being free makes me feel overjoyed.
I reach the rooftop and put my foot on the railing.
............
Just one more step and I'll be at peace.
I close my eyes and take that step.
At that moment, my arm is pulled from behind. What are you doing?!!!
