Judging by the replies you're getting from your entry, I'd say you have good friends who are willing to be there for you if you need help. Mr Jaegar especially seems very worried about you.

You don't have to share your problems if you're not ready yet, but honestly Mr Makara in my experience having someone to share your burden with really lightens the load.

Or they might be able to support you through this, which is the best, and in my opinion, most possible outcome. Mr Jaegar and Mr Shinra were willing to defend you yesterday; I don't think they would think ill of you, especially if you've got a problem that's weighing you down like this.

[Gamzee's not even sure where to start with this. It's not like he doesn't tell his friends things - he's a remarkably honest and open boy at times, often too much so, to the discomfort of everyone. But how do you tell your cheerfully bisexual friend that sometimes you think you're filthy and disgusting and you wish desperately that you could like girls and not want to ogle your roommate, and how humiliating and horrible it is to be called out on it by said roommate's father? Or tell the same thing to your friend who doesn't even seem interested in anyone like that, without poisoning them?

So he does what he always does with adults when he's not sure how to answer.]

oK.

[He may not have experience with teenagers, but even Coulson knows that that's not a very sincere answer. Still, he can't push Gamzee too hard now; he can sort of guess from the way Professor Donaghue had exploded that Gamzee had something to do with Eridan. This was really bothering on very personal issues, and frankly speaking Coulson isn't sure whether he's qualified to take those on. But he couldn't just leave the poor kid alone. Whatever it was, it must be something that was really tearing at the boy's heart.

He's about to write more, and there are ink blots, but at in the end he writes out:]

I wish you all the best, Mr Makara. If you do need an adult to speak to, my journal is always open for you.

[He wasn't dealing with Agents who had mental and emotional fortitude; he was dealing with teenagers. He has to keep reminding himself of that.]

[And Gamzee has even less than most - no one ever taught him how to handle big feelings. Hell, no one ever taught him how to handle the little ones, either, he's had to stumble around in the dark figuring that out on his own. It would probably be no surprise to anyone who knew his history that he found the way his mind drifted and spun on glue fumes when he was eight to be a superior and preferable state to being fully aware of just how unwanted he really was. He's gotten better since Hogwarts, found real friends, and people who care, but the damage was done a long time ago, and old habits die very, very hard. Something is broken inside the boy, and only Gamzee can put himself back together again. The problem is, he doesn't even have a blueprint for what an unbroken Gamzee would look like.]

Ok.

It's no problem at all.
