Once there was a boy name Jon who is just like any typical teenagers of his age. Jon lives in a bungalow with all the things he needs. His friends envied him and craved for such life.
But Jon was not happy. His father doesn’t care about him, all he does was just work, work and work to earn more money and increase their standards of living. His mother passed away when he was primary five because of a drunk driver who drove recklessly on the road and furthermore, he got no siblings. Everyday Jon faced walls instead of living human beings at home. Jon is scared. He felt lonely.
Although he has friends in school, but those friends are just common friends who do not care for him that much. Basically, Jon does everything himself. He envied his friends whose parents still care for them regarding their lifestyles. He will rather give up all his wealth to have someone to care for him.
Jon was very depressed. He wished that his mother was still around. Things weren’t like this when his mom was still alive. She cooks, wash and care for him. Although sometimes quarrels took place, Jon was really happy.
Tears swelled up like no one else business. He thought to himself: What’s the point of living so long when no one else cares?
All this were too much for him to handle. Soon the side effects of this depression appear. His results began to deteriorate. He began not to do homework. He began to think of suicide. His form teacher soon noticed him. He talked to him and found out that he lacked care and concern from others. The teacher led him to the school counsellor who counselled him. His father was also alerted regarding this. The lad’s father was worried. And he began to spend more time with him, care for him and motivate him.
This action of his father made Jon feels that there is still someone in the world that cared for him. Soon, Jon recovered from his state of depression and now Jon is a graduate of the NUS and he is trying to get into NIE to become a teacher.
THE END**I hope someone will be there too, to care, to concern..**
