Why did this happen at school today?!
Question: Why did this happen at school today.?
Today in English we were reading a short story (one of the best I've ever read, since I haven't read that many) and it was about a boy who was born and he was very different from other boys. His brother was so embarrassed of him. So he taught him how to walk (he still couldnt walk at the age of 5). Then after he taught him how to walk, they started to train. They were running and stuff. But his older brother (also the narrator) knew they didn't have much time before school started. One day when they were training just days before school, a storm came. They were going home. The little brother was scared of the storm so he was behind his big brother. But the big brother was so mad, he started running as fast as he could and left his brother behind. And the little brother said "Brother! Brother! Don't leave me!" and he got way far behind. But then the big brother came back for him but he was dead. His mouth was bleeding. I think his heart exploded because he had heart problems. Now at the end of the story, everyone in class was like laughing and saying "Oh wow thats not a great ending" And the whole class was like that. And I was just there sitting, and was about to cry. Why was I like that.? Oh and the name of the story is "The Scarlet Ibis."
Btw, sorry if I made it too long.

I'm with you, nothing is funny about that story I actually had to try not to tear from reading it. I feel the small brother died of a broken heart. How sad how people can cover their feelings. Thanks for the title of the book, i am going to get that story because sometimes I need to cry and let out some steam thank you very much.Health Question & Answer
You have a sense of compassion and caring that most ppl in the world have no clue even exists. Its a shame too that ppl are cold and uncaring. Stay the way you are if you can. Your life will be happier and you will feel more fullfilled with the goals you achieve in your life if you can look at others and laugh with thier joys and cry with thier sorrows. Best wishes for a good life.Health Question & Answer

Hey!
I read that story in English last year!
English 9 with Mariano, i remember that....his class was soooo boring!
But, that's how MOST kids are these days. They're desensitized to the morally wrong things.
You SHOULD be like that. It's okay to cry.Health Question & Answer

The rest of the class can hide emotion, death, if it doesn't affect anyone in their family, has no effect on them.
You may be more emotional than most the people in your class. But that's okay.

Ugh, I know exactly what you mean. I'm in high school and I hate it when people act like that, they think it's cool to laugh at stuff like that. They don't take the time to actually listen to or read the story, they're afraid to have an opinion that might make them seem emotional (guys mostly) I just ask them "How is that funny.?" Try and make them see what morons they are. I'm probably above average for emotions for a guy so I know just what you mean.Health Question & Answer
honestly (and this might sound corney, but i wouldnt say it if i didnt think it was true) but i think that everyone else felt the exact same way that you did but they didnt want people to see that side of them because they were too embarrassed so they just made fun of it. dont think that you have any kinda issues because of it though, cause if you think about it, theyre the ones that are too self conscious to show their real feelings.
btw, i dont mind if its long, ive probably posted longer ones myself =]Health Question & Answer

Hey buddy don't let these bastards take away your self esteem. What they did was rude and perhaps was not their fault, as I read your story when you describe the heart exploding, that was a little weird. You could have solved it by being more tacful like: "When the brother came back for him, his brother had sliped and fall on the ground fataly hurting his head" or "Found his little brother lying on the road and when taken to the hospital he was pronounced dead, due to a genetic heart problem. In any case, is your story and you can end it in any way you like. Good job! Health Question & Answer
You were like that because you have a heart. And from what I can tell, a very good one. I know it is hard to deal with getting emotional over a story, especially in school when everyone is trying their hardest to be "cool", but your sympathy for the boy in this story shows how good a person you are. Don't let a bunch of kids who hide their emotions dictate how you feel about things. There are too few people in the world that can sympathize these days. Health Question & Answer
