Enjoy it while it lasts, kid. Being a smart kid is hell as an adult. People have so many expectations for you, so many goals, so many AP classes. You have so much promise as a young thing, so bright and clever, and suddenly you look around and you’re sitting in your pajamas, watching Netflix, doing nothing with your…
We used to call it "Tiny Emperor Syndrome." Because you are so powerless on the bottom rung, when you figure out a way to move up one, even if it's just to something pointless like "shift supervisor" all the New! Shiny! Power! goes to your head and you lose your damn mind and turn into Mussolini, because BY GOD THE…
I’m from Scranton. Whenever I visit, which is not often, I’m reminded why it was once referred to as “the armpit of America”. It’s a backwards, anti-intellectual area full of cranky elderly people who stare out their windows to spy on you.

Pay money for this? For a PowerPoint style game designed to "teach" people how rape is traumatic? Released on Steam? As a one-time-through, not-very-interactive experience designed to shock and angst you into being upset about something we already fully know about and are working to fix on a grand scale?

I'll go back and read it all, I promise, but i wanted to let you know, I laughed out loud at your pain.
