Interesting to read a story where the narrators are so blatantly wrong about what's actually going on. They've placed themselves near the heart of a narrative they built up that in reality has little to do with them or anything larger than life, but rather the various everyday social pressures of the panopticon that is WASP suburban life.
Graphic: Self harm, Suicide, and Suicide attempt
Minor: Pedophilia and Sexual harassment
