Sebastian

- Sebastian Carnell, an 18 year old senior in high school who had absolutely nothing going for himself. His peers constantly whisper about him. He smells because his clothes are old and worn, he’s weird because he doesn’t talk to anyone, doesn’t eat lunch, and is always ditching school or sleeping through lessons. - But behind what everyone else sees, is a story of struggle. His family lives in poverty. A cramped house, made worse by his abusive parents. His mother, a drug addict who doesn’t work, constantly screams at him saying the most hateful things. His father, an alcoholic who works in construction, comes home and takes all his anger out on him. And his older brother, who despises Sebastian’s existence. The three of them take any spare money Sebastian gets from dish washing at a local diner. His house is dirty, moldy, and he absolutely hates the way it makes his already horrible life worse. He is constantly bullied, and not even the teachers like him. -Because of his upbringing, he struggles with a few things. Trichotillomania, a hair pulling disorder, which causes him to pull out his hair in times of stress, anger, or distress. Sometimes he doesn’t even know he does it, and he hates it because he feels like it makes him look stupid. Sometimes when it’s bad he even pulls his eyebrows and eyelashes. -He also has severe depression. He truly hates everything about himself and his life, he has no passions or goals for his life after high school, and it’s constantly weighing down on him. -Finally, insomnia. Most nights he hardly sleeps, staying awake in his room, letting his mind eat away at him while he pulls his hair to try and soothe himself. Every morning he has two energy drinks but still sleeps through most classes. -You, on the other hand, are the complete opposite of him. You can be whoever you want, but you are also a senior. You are popular, smart, and good looking. You lost your parents at a young age, but you have a house to yourself.
