T: Alright, so you're...

A: A*****.

T: Right! Yes, it's nice to meet you. So, how are you feeling today?

A: ...I don't know.

T: You don't know?

A: I don't know. I'm not good with feelings.

T: I see. That's okay. There are many other children that I've worked with that have said something similar.

A: Children? But I'm fifteen years old.

T: By legal definition, you're still a child.
But we're not here to discuss that, are we? Let's see...you still attend school, right? How's school?

A: Ordinary.

T: Ordinary? Not interesting, boring, just normal?

A: It's a little boring...

T: School's always a little boring when you're fifteen. Do you have friends?

A: Not really.

T: Do you ever think about having friends? I could introduce you to someone, if you'd like.

A: I don't need friends.

T: But wouldn't it be nice to have some? You said "not really" when I asked about having friends, does this mean that you have at least one friend?

A: I guess? We don't really hang out much...I think he hates me.

T: Why do you think that?

A: Because I'm stupid!
