Nickelodeon: Learn from the dark, but Remember the light. Content Warning.
I have been the biggest Nickelodeon fan since I was a toddler. Some of my greatest memories as a little boy can be captured in the recollection of all the cartoons, sitcoms and young adult dramas that I binge watched on Nickelodeon in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Even in my adulthood I’ve always looked at Nickelodeon as part of the penacle of what made life so great during my youth and I still love Nickelodeon culture to this day. Nearly a decade into my adulthood I started learning that there were scandalous secrets from behind the scenes that Nickelodeon was hiding. Over the course of the past couple weeks the details of these secrets have made their way to the public and everyone who loves Nickelodeon has been brought to their knees.

We’ve Got You. Content Warning.
October 16, 1999, 10:30 a.m. 15 year old Drew Parker is sitting on a bench at the park around the corner from his house. He is waiting for his friends Giovannie, Bryan and Amanda to come meet him so they can go have breakfast and then go to the mall together. As he sits waiting for his trio of friends to arrive Drew reaches back and carresses the bruise on his lower back. At least I fought back this time, Drew thought to himself. Once again my mom’s drunken and worthless boyfriend gave me a drunken beatdown yesterday, but this time I fought back and that’s why I’m in so much pain today.

This week the network known as Investigation Discovery released a four part documentary titled Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV.

Jasmine’s Sticky Fingers
12 year old Jasmine Baker is walking merrily on her way to the local convenient store called Sandy’s Pantry while carrying a small backpack on her back. This is dangerous, but it’s kinda fun, Jasmine thought to herself. We’re low on food at home and mama’s worried sick. Just another day in the projects if you ask me, but we still gotta eat. A police car sits just outside of the store front. Jasmine pays it no mind as she enters the store with a big smile on her face. Inside the store the cashier is at the register talking to one of the police officers with a friendly customer, paying Jasmine no mind as she skips right past them unnoticed.

Abigor spent his entire life in Valley of Wahe. He was told as a boy that when he matured into manhood that he would learn to leave the valley behind and start a new path. Abigor cautiously approached the grounds of the valley’s forest with timidity in his stomach. His heart was racing so fast that he thought it was going to burst from his chest. So here I am. Abigor thought to himself. I have been dreading this day for months and now it’s finally here. My mother and father never prepared me for the emotional turmoil that I am feeling right now.
