You know that feel when you find some old dusty account on some old dusty place that you forgot about? :confused: And that feeling you get when you go through it and read all of your old messages and get that nostalgia feeling? I do too.

You see, I used to have this friend. His name was Michael. I used to come over to his house and we would surf the internet and play video games. One day, we found a website, it was called stickpage. This wasn't any ordinary website, it was a website where we could watch stickfigure fights, and play amazing games and have as much fun to our hearts extent. The last time I ever went over to his house was 4 years ago.

Since then, he has became a very odd person in our community. He has become an outcast, and has had most of his family and friends worrying about him. In 7th grade, he made a kill list, a list of all of the popular kids that would taunt him. One day, he showed them this kill list, and let them do what they wanted with it. That mistake has caused him to even more of an outcast than he was. It was rumored that he was going to kill himself or someone else. I recently realized that Michael was going to bring a gun to our high school and light the place up, shooting every student or teacher in sight.

Me and Michael used to PM eachother through this website on our older accounts, I read through them a while ago and noticed the clues that led up to this. He would always use very vulgar language, and show me animations of the most gorey animations he could find. I mean, sure, stick figures doing karate and blood splatters are find, but the stuff he sent me was just too much.

Michael was taken in last Friday, he came into the school carrying a loaded handgun. Where did he get this handgun? I have no clue. What he was going to do with it? I'm afraid to even think about it. This has been a pretty scary experience for me, realizing that we used to be very close friends.

How am I supposed to react to this? What do you think will happen to him? :confused: I need your words of wisdom, stickpage.

What we learned from this: Stickpage is full of potential serial killers.

I say it doesn't. I enjoy vile, terrifying, gruesome and horrid movies, art and stories. Nightmare fuel.
So do millions of other completely sane people. The problem is in the person, not in the media they view. He didn't become demented from watching violent things. He watched violent things because there was already something wrong with him.

Never blame the artist.

Its not the media, its the taunting and bullying.

This is not the same community that you knew years ago, most of the wiser members quit the forums, although we still have Exilement, Sacred, and Scarecrow to name some.

Although I may not be as clever as they are, I hope you'd heed my words.

Have you tried talking to him personally? To convince him that killing would not solve anything, but would only serve to worsen the problem, sure it might not take a day to convert him back, but as long as someone's there to guide him, then the probability that he would do anything that he would regret will decrease. Take time, he'll come back, be careful though, if you accidentally say something offensive, you would most likely get killed. The thing to remember is the friend within him that you used to have is still within him, its just sleeping and it takes really long to wake it up.

Of course, if its already too late... You'll have to employ professional help for him, or , if you're brave enough, put him down yourself. Do not ask me anything about killing because I'm not telling you about it any further.

Speaking generally, to anyone who might. Far too often people jump to conclusions and start blaming violent games or music for some kid going crazy.

and if that didn't work...i think you should tell the authorities before a disaster happens...

You know, maybe its because some teenage years are harder for others, for instance i know a dude called Spencer in our school, he IS a potential killer, and i can tell he plays some of the most offensive and gruesome games. He already gave death threats to people in our school and he gets annoyed easily. But will he actually have the balls to bring a fucking gun and start killing people when he gets older?

At the moment, I have no way to contact him. For all I know, he could be behind bars or being heavily monitored at his house. Personally, i'm afraid to even make an attempt to see him. If I ever run into him, i'll be sure to talk to him though. The last time I talked to him was around a month ago, and I could hear the cruel in his words, the way his jaw seemed to clench as he talked, the anger inside him. It was scary.

I'm pretty sure he was never physically bullied, more of mentally. In the way that when people are turned from you, but you can hear them talking about you.

I know that feel when the world around you makes you want to take out a gun and just shoot people, but i never do it.
