Sad Song

Sad Song is a short story about the life issues of a teenage boy. He is depressed because he has to do homework, he is single, he has to study for tests, and many people don't agree with his views on politics and popular culture. He often dreams of a better life. He labels people who disagree with him as "insensitive" and "stupid" because from his perspective, controversial topics have a detrimental effect on other people's lives, and he views beliefs that go against his principles and values as threats to his own life.
