Another misconception

This story is based on a childhood filled with weird and confusing depictions, it is set in a fairly big town located in an isolated country without much knowledge from the outside world. It speaks about the main character Nic's life that has many unfair cruel and sadistic scenes experienced all by himself or with his so called "friend group". They label it as "just a teen experience" but what it actually is something way worse. Every teenager goes through stuff right? some call it drama or tea, adults call it sensitive, hiding of how toxic things are... he's like any other teenager, but overtime with what he's gone through, it made him realize what life actually is about and the people around him may not be who he thinks they are.
