to be fully honest, i started crying near the last part. i feel like shouya, in a position where i have no friends and it wasnt always like that. much like him, my problems started in early 7th grade which is when i went to america and i had nothing in common with those other kids. ever since 7th grade, i started having eye contact problems, i couldnt look anyone in the eye. i lost all previous friends and couldn't make new ones. 2 years later and nothing changed. nothing or nobody has ever understood me to the level this movie did. ive tried committing suicide before. ive taken inspiration from this movie and hope to change thing.
