Okay, my school has this program where these other kids from a certain class come and talk to other kids about their problems, talk about ways to cope, and otherwise try to help kids with things going on in their life.

That's me. A kid with annoyances in my life. And, as much as they intend for good, my heart drops when I see my peer helper walk into my classroom.

Why? It's because they remind me of said problems. You see, normally, I do a relatively good job at ignoring conflict, emotion, life... But it never seems to work when they come to talk about such things...

I don't want to talk about my father, my heart defect, amounts of friends, my spiraling depression, or all that other crud. I can ignore them well enough and continue life... alone.

And, just for the record, I am not a creepy emo kid.
