Friday, July 27, 2007

It was in the local paper that a man had been arrested after his daughter tried to commit suicide. The paper inferred that it was his fault because of the way that he was treating her, but they wouldn’t say anything definite or name names. They can’t in cases like that because it hasn’t gone to court, at least that’s what Jed said, he seemed to know an awful lot about it. I was really disturbed, thinking back, it was obvious when we were doing our exams that something was going horribly wrong with Janice, but I ignored it, just like I ignored all the other things about her that were begging for help. But then I thought about what Matt had said about me, how he’d said that I always thought that the world revolved around me and that it always mattered what I thought or did. It made me wonder if it was sheer arrogance thinking that I could have done anything to ease Janice’s situation at home. But then I also thought that it was because everyone thought that things were nothing to do with them that bad things happened and that if people tried to help more things would be better. And then I thought that I was thinking too much and had best go down to the pub and let everyone else think instead!!
