OK, I read the 'story'. The fact that a 13 year old wrote it scares the crap out of me! The fact that a _teacher_, in an acredited institution, gave this thing more than a 'D-' astounds me, and speaks to me more of the educational system, than of the child. The child is in need of serious help. The _teacher_ should be neutered/spayed and sent to an island in isolation!
A 13 year old should at least be able to grasp basic scentence structure and gammar. If this 'child' is capable of basic communication skills, then this a work of prose, and my comments are moot. However, if, as it seems to me, this child is writing as well as he is capable, which is not evil in and of itself, then the story is extremely disturbing. It speaks more to the society that allows his rambling than to anything else.
The fact that the _teacher_ gave high marks to this trash, evokes an intense sense of fear in me. In my day, this would have been viewed as a direct threat against the establishment, and I would probably not be writing this now.

We're breeding the future. This is unacceptable.
