Does this look like a ****ing broken nose to you? How about a black eye? Are you at all convinced by the pathetic attempt at theater makeup done on his clearly healthy optical flesh? So, last weekend, this kid (whose name we will say, is Jack) was wrestling with his good friend, and this friend just hAPPENED to elbow him [hard] in the face. And he showed up to school on Monday with that ridiculous little popsicle stick house on his face claiming that he had broken his nose. Tony questions: "I looked at a hospital website and they'd give you something much better than that!" His excuse? "I wasn't going to spend any money on those expensive places, when I'm perfectly capable of making a brace myself." And today, (which happens to be Thursday, only four days later) he showed up without it. I HAVE BROKEN A BONE BEFORE. These things take much much much longer to heal than that. Maybe at the very least, 3-4 weeks, but not ONE. So maybe it does hurt a lot, but it is clearly not broken. And then the black eye, he didn't even have until yesterday. This really just pushed me over the edge. 1. Black eyes are, in fact, BLACK. (or some might call it a dark purplish indigo) And if they've been around a while, they turn lighter, but they are a red-pinkish purple. They are not soot grey. 2. People who have actually been hit hard enough to have their skin turn that disturbing color, their eyelids swell. They do not just discolor, but otherwise look equally as healthy as the opposite eye. 3. It just so happened that a kid in my Chemistry class actually did get a real, genuine black eye. And it fit perfectly all the above mentioned factors. This also, might I add, happened in late November. He walked into class when we returned to school on January 5, and the diameter of the deep indigo circle around his eyeball had decreased a small tad, and his eye was still slightly disfigured. And people actually BELIEVE this crap. There are girls going left and right saying, "awwww I'm so sorry! What happened! ! I hope you'll be okayyyyyy." I am just deeply disturbed and entirely outraged by the complete stupidity and ignorance of these people. I can't stand that no one can see that he's only trying to get attention and evoke pity and sympathy. (as he always is. His father died three or four years ago, and he never shuts up about it. I'm not saying he should just get over it, you never get over the death of a loved one, but there's a certain limit before you're just seeking attention) I've seen some pretty pathetic people and some awful attempts to try and catch attention, but this is really just one of the most disgusting, lowdown, and pathetic ploys I have ever experienced first-hand. I just want to slap every girl who defends him for the complete numbskull she is. Then maybe bash her head in with a club, and run her through one of these lovely things: and then gloss her up with a trip under one of these: .... I feel much more at ease now, and am fully ready to embrace and celebrate my birthday weekend. Feel free to share empathy and disgust below.

*would have poked at the kid's nose and been like..."legit!?"* xD If someone ever came into school gussied up like that, everyone would either laugh at them for getting beat up, or share something close to Sorie's feelings. Bulldozer included.

But... he wasn't even beat up. He was elbowed by his own friend. On accident.

xD That's pretty... pathetic. I'd be tempted to give him a real broken nose, just so he could see the difference.

I think you should break all of his toes since you can't do anything about that.

That is so incredibly fake. You're right, if there's no swelling and the bruise is all one colour, with no variation particularly around the edge of the bruise (you will notice even the purple bruises will have a yellowy tinge around the edges), then there is nothing close to real about it. You should take a white clothe to school, wet it and when he's not looking, leap on him and wipe it off.
I'm surprised your teachers are allowing it. Ours wouldn't stand for it, they'd tell him to wash it off.

*noticed that Loodle is now a tramp, while Jo has been upgraded again to Floozy*
Thank you guys though for the support. I knew you would understand, because you actually have functional BRAINS that you did not leave dormant at age 5. *loves on everyone*

*believes a gifted five year old may be able to pick up on that degree fake-ness*

That *might* pass off for a black eye in the end stages of healing, but yeah, definitely a fake for a "new" one. And the nose! I know two kids who broke their noses... in order for them to heal properly, the doctors had to re-break the nose or something wacky like that, and then the kids wore a bandagey thing for a while. That kid seems pretty silly. Do what Anne says and jump 'im.

That really does sound like a wondrous idea, but guess what, guys. He's already completely healed. Shocking!!
