I get Nick’s hesitation. At the same time, what he’s been searching for this whole time has been begging for his attention.kudos to Christian yet again. Kudos to Danny for getting Nick’s approval on Jonah. I think Danny will start to reign Jonah in some. Kudos to Jack for talking to Nick’s mom. I think Nick will really start to heal now. That’s when Noah is going to no longer be phased by Christian. Nick is right. Eventually he’s going to have to talk to him. Hopefully he’ll be so head over heels in love with Jack it won’t matter. As for Jack, his home situation worries me greatly. He’s holding something back.

Altimexis, I’m so sorry for the loss of your father and former classmate. That couldn’t have been easy at that age especially. I too unfortunately know loss of classmates and family at a young age. And you’re right. It is how most parents view the teen’s battle. I wasn’t saying that he wasn’t clinically depressed so much as I was highlighting that there was another perspective yet to be addressed. Just half wondered. I wasn’t poo pooing his emotions and grief either. Just trying to be a little objective. The meds will help definitely but Nick really needs is love and support more than anything which he’s getting from his friends however, I think he would really benefit from some behavioral regulation therapy of some type. Time definitely will help his perspective But not without that love and support and yes regular meals and rest. Teenagers need the most support for the very reasons you mentioned. Affirmation goes MILES for them.

I half wonder if there isn’t as much to Nick’s diagnosis as it’s made out to be. Sure he have be depressed for while over the drama and loss experienced both with his father and Noah. He could even be what’s considered a high functioning depressive, meaning he can still do a lot of normal day to day stuff like get out of bed, shower, do his homework, eat, etc etc. The worst depressed folks barely do that inconsistently. But, let’s not forget a few things. First, he’s a teenager. His emotions and thought processes are all over the damn place even without this drama. The loss of his father hasn’t been on his mind at least from our vantage point. Noah has obviously because it’s fresh and new. I half think Nick is making more of a mountain out of an ant hill for teens. Sure it’s huge for him from his perspective. But the abstract thought, the big picture isn’t being seen by him. Hopefully the doc sees this and the meds are being used just to steady the rocking of the boat so to speak.

hopefully Nick won’t needs the meds long.

You’re not wrong. Canada sucks for their Mental Health Care.

Proud of Nick for recognizing his depression and seeking help. Proud of Jonah for seeing that Nick and Jack are the better fit vs either of them for him. Much respect there. The meds don’t need to be permanent. Either of them. I don’t expect the clonazepam to be an issue either.

Zoloft isn’t the habit forming med. Clonazepam is

You’re doing fine

Hard to say. I think if something happened to Rowan, everyone is unsure how Simon would react. She

I think Krista is still holding something back. Remember, she’s not yet told Simon what happened to Rowan. She hung up and all she said was that she thought he should know and didn’t actually say what.

You’re most welcome

There’s still beauty in a failure, Simon,” he said, lifting my hand to his lips. His kiss was warm, steady. “Especially when it doesn’t give up.” Eli has the patience of a Saint

I think young teen romance is possible definitely but it’s not as common as it’s made out to be

Yeah, that scares me a bit

I agree that Noah is not done pursuing Nick. My darkest fears Noah is going to take what he wants once Nick is alone. I don’t know if man-ho is really that har he is. Part of me still thinks Noah is still a predator. Oh God I hope not

Give it time

Idk if Noah is as insecure as some have said. I do think he’s as much a horny teenage boy who’s used to getting what he wants often. I do think he’s a manipulative little fuck. I wish Christian hit him in BOTH eyes. I don’t care if it’s overkill. I do agree that this isn’t the first time this has happened although perhaps not at Harrison West. Although maybe so since Jack warned Nick. I think the group making him a pariah is a bit of a stretch but removing him from their group and circling the wagons around Nick was the right thing to do. No teenager deserves to be a pariah? I don’t know about that. I think there’s some teens out there that manipulative and DEFINITELY know what they’re doing. Noah fits that mold for me. His boldness while Nick was trying to take a shower proves that. Plus, look at how quickly the group rallied to protect Nick throughout the day class to class. This was organized and planned and agreed to on the quick. No debate. Almost as if they KNEW Noah would try again to confront Nick to “talk” which in my mind translates to “Noah to sing his siren’s song in Nick’s ear again.” Noah’s naive enough to buy it and believe him too. Even if it’s over time. I’ve said it earlier and I’ll say it again, Noah has narcissistic tendencies BIG TIME. He’ll try again. If he gets shut down, he’ll lash out. So yeah, Noah deserves the Pariah title imo.

I had the same thought in the beginning when Jack initially warned Nick of Noah.

Touché on all points

This is my second reading of it

Omg Nick’s friends are the best. Noah is dumber than I gave him credit for. Kudos to Christian for holding back. Finally, “flaming ferret and two frogs”? …BUHAHAHA that kid is the best.

At this point I’ve lost track 😂

Someone has a case of the sillies 👀👀

That’s a neat idea. But I’d love to see prequel more I think..and where Connor goes with his take talent after high school. Does he get noticed and make it big? Idk, just something to kind of round out the story.
