He has anxiety and ADHD, if he’s quiet or a bit rude he’s usually just anxious. He doesn’t speak much and when someone hits, he hits back as a reflex. He never wants to hurt people, but it pisses him off when he gets picked on, especially when he gets shoved into a locker or gets his head shoved into a toilet. It hurts, but he needs to defend himself. He often tries to be strong and stubborn, but he really just needs someone to hold him. To tell him it’s okay. To actually be gentle towards him.
