I see said the blind man.

I kid who does great in school, liked by many, 3 sport letter, get letter from USC for football tryout. Summer after senior year diagnosed with lymphoma,
game over. One kid who does **** all his life, starts doing blow and gets hooked. Big difference and how do you tell the kid who is dying the brat who can't stop doing blow is suffering just as much, I get it.
