Crisis Intervention

Free of Emotional and Familial Prison

When Henry , not his real name , was in prep school , he met just like everybody else a bully who would take his lunch box away from him . Given his somewhat resistive nature , he would refuse to give his lunch up , and would even dare to fight for it . However , because of his thin body and relatively short height , and the weakness caused by his hunger , he falls down in the hands of his nemesis and was taken usually bloody to the school clinic . In one occasion , when

the bully found nothing in the box but crumbs and a piece of carrot , his disappointment broke Henry 's arms

In grade school Henry 's struggling continues . Though the other aggressive kids there know that he doesn 't have much in his box , they will still take his lunch box from him to show everyone how miserable his life is . Other kids laughed and several pitied him , while the rest are indifferent from his situation .

He died anyway , with her mother , because she was only there in time for her head to hit the truck 's bumper . After the incident their family is dead . His father turned from being a locally respected man into someone who would be thrown out of a pub , walk in zigzag to a place he do not know . Luckily his body is used to walking home , and he is dragged by himself almost automatically to their place . At times when his body is heavily drowned in alcohol and is no longer able to take him home , neighbors will call on Henry to help him back home .
