Occam's razor; the guy was pushed down the stairs and was in a coma... But you never know what Dodger thinks of to make life difficult for Robbie 😈😇

Oh and I have to get this off my chest: I really disagree with the way people are talking about Nathan. There are some disturbing undertones in there. The general consensus seems to be: he should have tuned it down and luckily the new guy is a "normal" boy. Have you all checked lately that your name isn't Don?

Is there any progress in finding Robbie's attacker? Seems like the school/police/Don/Sue are not taking the attack seriously. Not even Robbie seems to take this as a serious issue. Denial on Robbie's part maybe, but the others....?

Well done, I thoroughly enjoyed the journey!

Well done! Are you sure there is not a new book right around the corner?

Thanks TalonRider. My non-participation in the poll is of a practical nature: I don't have a vote button

For the record: I can't vote here, because I am not an author. Just consider the count for the Yes-vote one higher

I think gay exclusive has its own important role to play. The idea that segregation and equality don't go together is wrong. Being equal does not mean being the same. It means being treated the same. People saying/writing that gays should not separate themselves every now and then because they want to be equal, really do not understand it. Basically they are advocating to just be like the majority...... so get back in the f*cking closet and you will be equal! Think about the message you are giving!

Congrats Dodger! I enjoy your stories 🍾

That explanation I can work with Your previous one gave me a bit of the Dumbledore feeling. "Oh, did you not already know?!", the author said. "NO!!", I shouted and stormed off to my room without a trace of autism. j/k But the good thing about this is that after reading Billy's story I did gain more insight in autism.

I think there is one flaw in your thinking. It may work fine for people that deal with autism themselves or within their environment. But if people have not been exposed to this, how should they recognise the signs? I am not a person that is spending all his time thinking about all the mental issues that are out there in the world. Besides there are plenty of socially awkward, aggressive adolescents around that are just that: socially awkward and aggressive. Now, to me, it feels like you are telling your readers that they should have been smart enough to figure this one out. The similarity with this kind of passive-aggresive "reasoning" comes to mind: "what is wrong, honey?" "you should know" "why? was it something I did, I said?" " If you don't know, then there is no reason for me to tell you" But what I do not get at all is Billy's parents not telling him, or at least monitoring him and coaching him when he needs it. Maybe logical for people that deal with this stuff, but to me a case of very bad parenting. Very, very bad parenting!

That was very brave of Nico. He took a big risk coming out just after meeting Andy. I really liked that it went so smooth. Nico and Andy? or Rex and Andy? or even Jackson and Andy? Or maybe all, who knows? 😂

So many possibilities for this story. I am curious to find out where you will lead us.
