Some of the most important lessons in life just aren't meant to be learned in school, no matter how hard they try to teach it to you. Some people learn these lessons from their parents. Some never do.
Jason was just an average kid who loved to shoot hoops, rain or shine. He wasn't particularly good at it - dreams of turning pro certainly never crossed his mind. Yet those hours spent out on the concrete and hardwood floors weren't just fun and games. It was serious. It was time to learn some lessons.

Cover
Michael has always been shy and timid. Not because he was abused at home or anything like that. In fact, he had very loving parents. Very rich, loving parents. And well, whenever people found out, they always suddenly wanted to be his friend to use him. To get the latest gadgets or games for their birthdays, and to borrow money that they never give back. They always left in the end, gradually and subtly so he wouldn't notice until it was too late. It didn't bother him as a kid; there were others to play with. But once middle and high school started, it hurt a lot. Especially when they began to pick on him after getting what they had wanted from him. So when his parents moved to Sydney, he saw his chance. His chance to pretend that he was like any other normal kid who had to wait for the latest phone or the newest video game. But when he meets three best friends in the year above him, his cover begins to unravel.Complete
Never Easy
"I've, uh, well, I've been pretty low sometimes in my life, and I know you probably don't want me to say this, but-" Jason sighed as if steeling himself to say what he needed to say next, "what I've learned is that you can't try to do it all on your own. You gotta let people help you. You gotta get help if you need it. No shame in it." Jason sighed again. "What I mean to say is, if you need help, I'm here for you, and I hope that's not weird-" Changes come to our life, and somehow we keep moving. Two-and-a-half couples (and one poor innocent bystander) deal with illness and its cure with varying degrees of success, but they all end up all right, I think. It was never going to be easy, though.Complete
