Letter to the Jarrets

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Jarret,
You two have lost a son and almost lost another one. No one can tell you how to deal with your grief, but for the sake of Conrad you have to figure it out soon. Mr. Jarret, Conrad did try to kill himself and I know that you feel terrible and guilty because you think were missing the signs, but you can't over compensate for that now by constantly being worried and checking up on him. You have to give him room to heal and grow. If he feels like you can't handle his problems he won't come to you when he has one. I know that you care and so does he. Part of that over compensation is probably because you feel like you have to care enough fo you and your wife seeing as though she just seems disinterested. Mrs. Jarret you lost your first born and then your other son tried to commit suicide. It is okay not to be okay, but you act like it's not. You never really grieved over you losses which is not okay because you have to get past them. Everyone knows that you have something against Conrad and maybe if you actually talked to him you could work something out. He feels like you'll never forgive him and your husband doesn't think you will either. I feel like leaving is not the answer yet. If you just talked about how you felt maybe things would be different. You wouldn't even have to go to a specialist.
Mr. and Mrs. Jarret you guys are not bad parents or anything like that. You just could've gone about things in a different way. Maybe group therapy would've helped but who can be sure. Just know Conrad is trying to be better and so should you.

Sincerely,
A Friend

Civic Duties

There are a lot of things that everybody should do, but there is this one thing that I believe needs to be done by everyone. I think all people should watch Grey's Anatomy. It should be a requirement that every person watch the show. It would make socializing so much easier. Whenever you met a new person there is automatically something to talk about. There could be new icebreakers, like who is your favorite character and why? It would definitely increase my quality of life seeing as though I relate almost everything to Grey's Anatomy. If this was everyones civic duty then everyone would understand my show references. There are so many times I say something and then I'm just like nobody understands me. If everyone watched the show no one would have to go through life feeling misunderstood all of the time because there would be someone out there who could relate to them about something. This Civic Duty wouldn't just appease me it could make a lot of peoples lives easier. Say you work in a an office and there is this one person you always have awkward conversations with or you just never know what to say to them, with this requirement in place there is at least one thing you can talk about whether you love it or hate it. I just feel like everyone should watch Grey's Anatomy and in doing so the world would become a better place.
