For a first attempt, the producers and actors did well to portray such a sensitive area of a young person's life. The feeling of not fitting in or not belonging can weigh heavily on young person's mind. Jason was in emotional denial. It was not clear where his parents were, but the mental abuse/bullying from his sister was relentless. She was trying to take on the role of the parents but failed miserably. His friends were young and very impressionable, and they could not advise him. His friend's brother was a bully. His girlfriend was powerless to stop things from escalating. In the end, he felt isolated, and the only way out was the route he took. He did not even consider taking the last drug. It is a shame that everyone had a hand in him taking his life, and it was clear to see that it was easier to blame each other than to accept their part in why he took that route. Whilst I felt the story needed to be fleshed out a bit more, if it is looked at in terms of a young person's mindset, then the film did its job. Well done. I look forward to watching more dramas from these young producers and actors.
