Mason: Look, kid, I don't really like giving advice, but you need to be a bit patient.
****: Okay, you're right maybe, but I need to learn some things so we can get started.
Mason: Alright then, it's your turn, Leonardo.
Leonardo: How did I start? I need to think; it's been a long time. Back then, I was in high school, a quiet kid who kept everything inside. I was afraid to ask people questions and didn't talk to anyone; I was a total social outcast. There was a girl I liked, a beautiful and charming girl, and I was madly in love with her. Normally, I wouldn't have the courage to do anything, but eventually, I decided to confess and asked if we could meet. She rejected me and humiliated me in front of everyone. That day, I felt so ashamed and started to hate her. Instead of kindly rejecting me, she made fun of me, and that really hurt. After that humiliation, people started to mock me and bully me. I managed to endure it for a while, but eventually, I sought ways to escape it. When I went online, I found solutions like ignoring it and not responding, but one result completely changed my life.
****: What was that result?
Leonardo: Cyberbullying.
****: To be honest, that was more impressive than Mason's story.
Mason: Yeah, I agree with that.
Eva: So, did you do something to the girl afterward, Leonardo?
Leonardo: Yes, I did something that made her have to change schools.
(You must remember similar things.)
****: Tell us more.
Leonardo: Alright, calm down, boy. I'll tell you everything.
Axel: Wait a minute, there's a sound.
Someone enters.
Caleb: Hey everyone, how are you? I didn't scare you, did I?
****: No, you didn't scare me at all, thanks.
Caleb: The new kid seems to be warming up to the group quickly.
Mason: Yeah, he came out faster than you did.
Caleb: If he's even faster than me, that's good news.
****: Yes, keep going, Leonardo.
Leonardo: After that, I started researching cyberbullying and got acquainted with the online world. From then on, things spiraled out of control. I started learning a lot of things. While I was learning these things, they were still bullying me. Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore and resorted to cyber methods. I hacked the MSN account of the girl who rejected me. Back in our day, we had MSN. Then I found out that the girl was actually a total slut; she had messages from every guy and was selling herself to everyone. That was more than enough motivation for me, so I acted on it.
****: So what happened next?
Leonardo: The whole school was talking about it. The girl had a boyfriend who broke up with her, and she became a laughingstock. Eventually, she left school.
****: Do they know what you did?
Leonardo: Back then, no, but later I went to her and told her, and it satisfied me.
****: I had something similar happen to me.
(Leonardo is really a more complex person than we thought.)
