"What do you think of me now that I've told you that?"

You just told me about some dark thoughts--thoughts that all of us have thought about at one time or another--and you want to know what I think of you now.  You asked me that while ringing your hands.

What do I think of you now?  

• I think middle school sucks.
  
  
• I think kids are cruel.
  
  
• I think everyone has dark thoughts, and thinking doesn't make you bad, acting on them does.
  
  
• I think you're human.
  
  
• I think you're too hard on yourself.
  
  
• I think you are hurt, and lonely.
  
  
• I think you're stuck in a hurt, lonely, hard-on-yourself place.
  

• And I'm hoping we can help you back out.
