Heart of the City by Steenz for June 02, 2020

Being an outcast at school isn’t that bad. You won’t be able to see the people that go to the same school as you when you graduate, so what’s the point?

im 10 and my ears are pierced

Now I’m scared. Logic. Weird, but logic none the less.

Sensitive people are made outcasts because it makes others feel powerful. It’s not because they don’t have pierced ears. They picked on me for being short and being Jewish. I know now that they picked on me because I was an easy target; if I wasn’t short &/or Jewish they’d have found something else. (Please don’t give me the “you have to fight back” argument; it’s a sick society that requires violence of pacifists.

Wow the negotiating skills!

The look on Mom’s face in panel three.

Try the (magnetic) clip-ons. They have some really cute ones.

If Heart’s 11, she can clean her own earlobes. Why is her mother doing it for her?

Playing the long game…

Sorry, the new writer may be talented, however, this is not Heart of the City.

No she doesn’t. That is childish nonsense.

When I was a kid my older sisters got their ears pierced. Sister #2 was fine but Sister #1 had a horrible allergic reaction. I decided to skip it. I’m 37 now and still don’t have piercings.

I just got my ears pierced a few months ago.

Got my ears pierced before my brain developed good memory, so around 3-5.
