Coming-of-age Filter: My world is coming crashing down. Is this a sign? Should I just soldier on? How? Trying to be a rock-em sock-em robot and get back on the horse. Details inside. So, last week was up there among the worst weeks of my life. After having some seriously frustrating days at school (...
