Numb
This child's
head is bandaged and bleeding through from self-inflicted wounds. In his
right hand is a note from his Doctor excusing him from school and a prescription
for the anti-itch medication, Atarax, which causes drowsniness. In his
left hand he holds an empty bottle of Serax tablets, used to treat anxiety.
A pill floats in his center section, where his stomach is. The Doctor's
note reads:
"To Whom
It May Concern: Please excuse this student from performing, participating
or paying attention in school as this student is taking Atarax to correct
constant scratching of teh scalp which is a somatic expression of anxiety."

The New
Kid
This child
is bound with black leather strapping, unable to defend himself. Pinned
to his body are notes that say things like, "Hit me," "Punch me," and "Spit
on me."
