Behind Closed Doors

The bad boy

He's a jerk. He's full of himself. He's conceded. He likes to start fights. He's a troublemaker. He's a school skipper. He's a drug user. He hangs with the wrong crowd. He has a bad boy image. He sleeps with girls then throws them away.

This is the image he projects. It's what he lets them see.

At home he's beat down and told he's not good enough. His parents don't accept his best, they always want better. He's always compared to his older brother, who he is nothing like. He's been told that he isn't good enough for so long that he quit trying. His confidence has been diminished to almost nothing. His parents don't give him any privileges because he's "not good enough."

He's a jerk. He's full of himself. He's conceded. He acts like this to hide the fact the he feels worthless. He doesn't want others to think he's weak.

He likes to start fights. He doesn't look for fights for the heck of it. He looks for fights because he wants to prove himself to someone. He is always looking for approval and if a fight is the only way to do that, then that's what he'll do.

He's a troublemaker. He's a school skipper. He does this as a way of rebelling. His parents never approved of him, he might as well give them a reason to not approve.

He's a drug user. He does this to take his mind off of his home life. He does it to escape life and let go. He does this to relax.

He hangs with the wrong crowd. He want's to feel cool. He wants to feel like he belongs. He wants to be accepted.

He has a bad boy image. He sleeps with girls then throws them away. He does this to boost his confidence. Girls like bad boys, he wants to be liked. He sleeps with them to keep his image.

In reality he has no confidence. He feels worthless. He is unstable. He is broken. He is hurt. He is emotional. He seeks approval. He wants to be accepted for who he is. He hates pretending to be someone he isn't. He wants to escape his life.
