Couldn't you like... Keep the door open, give her the coin, leave (since you were the one who opened the door) and then she would leave after and that's it? She would be free to move since the coin was not spinning, and you'd be free to leave if the door was kept open because you were the one who opened it

Ok but wait... You're still just a child, and if he has your features, he probably has your abilities too, plus many years to have figured out what your weaknesses are. Don't go after him. Take on what you can handle right now, save puppies, people from disasters, help the firemen, stuff like that. Learn about your weaknesses. Only then should you go after that person. Stay safe kid ❤️

Real talk, but I'm crying here. And I wish my comment was in the spirit of the sub, but it isn't.

I resigned from teaching in March, I think. Either March or May. Amongst other reasons, I wasn't being able to cope with the violence and aggressiveness of the students. The war didn't help either and the kids started behaving crazy (we're pretty far, but the news keep showing awful images of what's happening, so I guess that got to them). I had a kid who brought a corkscrew to assault a classmate and another one who brought a knife. We're talking about 10/11yos. It was crazy.

And then there was this girl. She had a single friend and was bullied by pretty much everyone else. I tried my best to help her, talk to her, but honestly the system itself keeps us from being able to help much. She was clearly depressed and used to appear with scratches and small cuts on her arms that I knew well what were, since I had a similar childhood/teen years.

Some days ago I was checking the news. Turns out she snapped hard enough to appear on national TV. She beat one of her bullies during a class, the teacher asked the kids to leave the classroom and she ended up barricading inside with the teacher and tried to off herself. The teacher was able to prevent it.

Truth is, bullies can change or even end someone's life, and from my experience, 90% of the times, their behavior can be traced back to their parents. There should be laws about it, parents can't just keep acting like good ol' Danny's here. This is awfully sad...

Hummm... You can't really carve skulls' mouths into anything, so I'm betting on heads. Also if it was skulls there would be no difference between boy and girl, but I guess that might be OP's preference. I've been an artist for quite some time and every single one of us has a quirk so that's possible
