goin to juvi?, a friend Options

[lexaa621]

today was effed up. my friend found a knife on the ground and picked it up and went up behind some kid and tried to scare him by grabbing him and putting the knife up to by his neck. the kid jumped a bit so the knife slit his neck a bit. at first it didnt seem bad but then it started bleeding like crazy (cut an artery), and a teacher saw it and sent my friend off to the principal and police while the other kid went off to the hospital. the kids mom is now making them go to court and my friend might end up in juvenile hall. that pretty much screws up his life. the kid he cut was a friend in his pe class and they were just fooling around, so no one's too angry except the moms. im confused and pissed (at my friend and the kids mom). just upset in general.
i hang out with this guy really often and its gonna be really weird to lose him.

someone comfort me lol...

I'm really sorry, I understand that you must be in so much pain right now. That kid who got his artery cut must be in a lot of pain, and he would be afraid too. I think that the person who is the most afraid at the moment, however, is your friend who may go to juvie. If you've ever had one of those nightmares where you make a very horrible mistake that messes with the rest of your life, I'm sure you can get a very vague idea of what he is going through right now. It must be a million tim es worse when you realize you're not going to wake up. He should not have been playing with the knife, true, but that doesn't mean he won't feel fear. And I know that you are very afraid. I hope that everything turns out alright. I hope that you are alright after this whole thing is over. Call a friend with whom you can remember all of the good times that you had with that boy, and a friend that knows him better than we did. I think that is where the best comfort will come from.
