My Bottle For The Built Up Emotion

Jocks

Jocks are the tough, popular, sporty guys at school, right? Well, let's look at things from another perspective. The Jock is just another guy at the school, another kid, one with problems of there own outside of the school drama, and they can break. What if one of your schools so called 'jocks' got a bad grade and asked for some sort of lienent on there assignment like an extra day or extra credit and was denied. What if that jock just... Snapped. He broke down, shed a few tears, and when someone made fun of him for crying he gave them a piece of his mind saying things like 'I'm so sick of it!' Or 'shut up or I'll punch your face in!' Things out of context. Things you would only understand if you knew what happened outside of classes. Jocks have 'important' reputations to keep up. They have to parade around the school like they're better than everyone else, and some believe that. But others... Well, they know they're not better but choose to act like it for their own safety or to make someone proud or just so that don't have to be that one person who sits alone at a lunch table. Maybe they're parents want them to be the popular, cool kid with the good grades that is the football/basketball jock, or the cool kid with the good grades and friends and is atheletic in all the uncommon or badboy sports like skate boarding. Some people have a story, others are an open book, a boring, general, open book. The ones with a story don't open up very easily, they find an outlit like writing, sports, music, drawing, a certain hobby that lets them spill their emotions out without needing another person, because who needs or wants another person if they just make fun of all your insecurities? All types of people are allowed to break once in a while. If they don't and they keep it in they might just explode and cause further damage that wouldn't have been caused if they just let their emotions out sometimes. Why do people have the need to break others down? Or when they're already broken light the rubbish with a match never to be fixed? Sometimes its reputation. Other times its an already broken person trying to make everyone equal in pain. And sometimes its just a bad person. No other explanation besides the fact that they are wicked and black-hearted. So, next time your local jock does the unexpected, like maybe breaking a little, watch out for the cracks; don't head over with pry bar and start tearing them open.
