Isolated Incident

Author's Note: For this piece - which, yes, is only a one-shot, albeit a very long one, at that - please bear in mind that there will be death, and several implied deaths, as well as suicide, sexual abuse, and generally disturbing content throughout.

The capitalized "They"s refers to the bullies that essentially "killed" Kyle. The crossing out is intentional (obviously) - these are the thoughts Kyle cannot allow himself to think. Kenny has clinical depression in this, which is a deeply personal subject for me, so forgive me if I linger on it. This entire piece takes place over the last two days of Kyle's life.

Enjoy.

Kenny's POV

In life, whether you are truly alive or just decayed and dead inside, everyone has something that makes them special.

Take my friends, Stan and Kyle. Maybe they were really my friends, maybe not. That aside, they both had that special something, the esteemed quality I grasped at desperately but could never seem to claw free. Talent. It was a strange word, melting on my tongue like an egregious pill for my unconfirmed diseases. Kyle was talented. His books were thicker than my wrists and his quick tongue singed me with words longer than I was tall. Stan was talented, too. He could sprint faster than the girls went flying into his

RiotKenny's POV

Hell was a delicious nightmare that I often found irresistible. The night it descended on Earth was my only night worth living.

They called us devil worshipers. We related to the inferno below more than the breath of heaven above and answered to no god. In the streets mothers would turn their children away from us. In school we were left alone in fear of a brutal retaliation. We were famous for that, I suppose – Eric especially. His notorious temper spurred intense flashes of screeching anger that were, at times, impossible to control. Meanwhile, I ripped the world to shreds through searing heartbreak. My frustration was fa

You're not special, so...by ~colbalt-rain

deviantART Related / Deviant Stamps

This applies to:

bitching about how "tortured" or "tormented" you are; if you really were, you wouldn't be spreading it around like it's something to be proud of.

thinking that your sexuality, in any way, makes you special, better, unique, or different somehow. I'm lookin' at you, pansexuals.

also, using your sexuality as an excuse to be an obnoxious dickhead, and then claiming whoever isn't totally on your side is a homophobe/transphobe/whatever.

making up stories about how you were abused or had a shitty home life to get sympathy and attention. Same rules apply for this one; if you were raped or beaten or mistreated, you would not think it was something to share with everyone.

claiming you're "OMFG SOOO INSAYNE TROLOLOLOLO" or have a mental disability of some sort to either justify your random and retarded behavior, or look special and unique to somebody else. Having mental problems is terrifying and can be life-threatening. Again: not cool.

taking place in something not many people do - such as eating vegan - and looking down on all those who don't.

injuring yourself, or claiming to, for attention. In fact, injuring yourself at all, really. Cut that shit out.

being a social outcast or "freak," and being proud of it. Like having no friends is a fucking accomplishment or something.

And that's just a short list.

But seriously. All I ever see on this site - and Tumblr, in the select few times I've visited - is thirteen year olds competing to see who is more special, the most unique, has the most tragic life story, etc. Quit treating the people out there with social lives like they're "missing out" on something here. We're not a fucking cult. We're not a secret underground world that pwns over Facebook, 4chan, Reddit, 9GAG, etc. Come on, people. Suck it up. You're not as special as you think you are.

In fact, sometimes?

You are just a freak. And that's nothing to be proud of. Being bullied? Nothing to be proud of. Getting raped and abused? Nothing to be proud of. Having Bipolar I or II? Nothing to be proud of. Being gay, straight, bi, trans, black, white, Latino, etc.? Nothing. To be. Proud. Of. I'm not religious, but there's a fucking good reason why pride should be considered a sin. Pride, unless it's for something that actually benefits other people and humanity as a whole, is pointless. Stop saying you're proud, stop claiming it's "because I'm special," and stop thinking you're higher than everybody else somehow.

Feel free to use this.

This is a wonderful stamp. If I ever get premium I will definitely place it in my collection. I never noticed the ADHD thing until you mentioned it above. There are so many young girls who go around saying the whole "Sorry, I have ADHD - squirrel hahaha" thing, that it is just crazy. I was diagnosed with aspbergers and even to this day I struggle accepting it. I would never ever brag about it. In fact, I would rather people did not know.

There was a 13-year-old girl on my bus who was absolutely "crazy". She loved to tell people about how her mom was murdered, how her father raped her and how she is a recovering meth addict. Not only that, but she would tell NEW comers who were not even on the bus for a mer 10 minutes about her "horrid" life. It drove everyone else on the bus insane. Anyway, I have not seen her in years but last I heard is she was kicked out of school and is living with her fiance who she has been dating for two months. Oh well, makes an interesting story to tell.

I think the worst thing about being mentally ill nowadays is that there are so many self-diagnosed kids out there that most people won't believe you. The worst part is feeling like you have to do something nuts just to get them to believe you. It's awful.

And honestly, that's disgusting. I can understand if she was clearly traumatized and reaching out for help, but telling a total stranger? Just why. What purpose does that even serve, y'know?

Thank you. <3

Thank you for making this. A girl I went to school with always used her mental disorder as an excuse to get away with acting like a complete bitch. It's not right to do that

~1shev1 Aug 15, 2012

Wow. You sure are the definition of a bitch.
Hating people for being social outcasts?
Like, what the fuck?

~colbalt-rain Aug 16, 2012 Student Writer

I don't hate people for being social outcasts. I hate people who use their "freak" status as a way to get noticed by behaving in the loudest, most obnoxious way possible. If you're a social outcast, that's fine. But I can't think of anybody who would defend someone who intentionally acts as dickishly as they can for attention.

I would never hate somebody for being different, or an outcast, or bullied, or victimized in any way.
