sample post:

a young man sat alone on the colorful merry-go-round near the edge of the park. grasped within his fingertips, he had a single, rolled joint, which he had just pulled from his pant pocket. benjamin west wasted no time, pulling out his lighter, he held the marijuana above the flame until a small stream of smoke began to rise; which, at that point, he lifted the small stick to his lips and took a deep drag from it's tip.

the teen sighed, a small groan emitted from the depths of his lungs as he pressed his back up against the bar that held the playground toy into the ground. ben wore a pair of black dress pants, accompanied by a white shirt, which buttoned up the front, and a black tie, which hung loosely around his neck. the first three buttons of his shirt had been quickly undone after the memorial, and he had abandoned his coat in the passenger seat of his range rover, which he had parked in the lot a hundred meters away. as for his dirty blond hair, it had been given only mediocre attempts at being styled; for, honestly, ben had other things on his mind besides how he appeared. for his entire life, he had been extremely close to jake, and now, unable to contemplate the reality of him being gone, forever, ben could find no other alternative than to get wasted. hopefully, that would help.

cursing god, or whomever had decided to take his cousin from this life, ben began to feel the effect of the drug on his system. feeling a bit of weight added onto his limbs, he began to zone out, staring around at the various playground objects around him, and allowing his thoughts to travel where ever they'd like. for a few seconds, he thought about, if he were to die, how people would react. would they miss him? would people cry? would people even show up? honestly, he couldn't promise himself anything. knowing perfectly well that he wasn't the most popular person at his school, and also looking back on the numerous fights he had started and ended, ben could help but question the feelings his peers really had for him. fuck them, ben muttered, pushing the thought aside as he raised the joint to his lips once more and inhaled deeply. with a sigh, the teen's eyes shut, resting without thought in the silence of the atmosphere around him.

physical appearance:

carter cohen is your every-day, not-so-popular teenage boy. his tall, lean, "bean pole" appearance does not help him at all in the popularity department. nor in the romance department. the teen stands at five feet, eleven inches, and is hopelessly not built with muscle, but remains very lean and healthy. although, a life-time on the clean sands of the pacific gave him a nice overall tan; but it remains just mediocre to other california boys.

although, the boy's parents did him well in the gene-pool. carter has dark brown hair that is rather shaggy and curly. he tends to keep it rather shortly cropped. seldomly does he have facial hair, unless of course, he was being lazy that morning and forgot to shave away the stubble from his cheeks and chin. his eyes are a beautiful hazel color, but often appear to be quite dark unless being observed from a close proximity.

clothing style:

carter was raised by a loving set of parents, whom had the money to dress him well. most days, he prefers to be dressed in comfortable, straight-legged blue jeans and a t-shirt. although, on a common occasion, he also wears long-sleeved button up shirts, sweaters, vests, and sweatshirts with zippers and hoods.

- sailing

- athletics
- jerks
- the pacific coast

personality:

carter cohen is known by his peers as the quiet, geeky kid who plays video games and reads comic books. although, what they miss by not speaking to him is the personality that lies beneath the shy exterior. he is extremely comical, burdened by a sever addiction of sarcasm. but at the same time, he is very awkward and kept to himself. when people do let him in, he is great friend; with the only downside to his friendship being his inability to keep secrets well. carter honestly is a very good guy, and a great friend, but he has been rejected for too long.

although he is desperately friendly to most everyone around him, including the jerk-offs that torment him, most everyone continues to shut him out and label him as the brainy nerd. in his spare time, cohen has become the practical master of video games. yes, he is awkward, shy, a bit too friendly, and laden with sarcastic, and sometimes very lame, jokes... but once you get to know him, if you get to know him, he is the best friend you could ever wish for.

history:

born on november thirtieth, carter lee cohen was brought into the world of the rich and fabulous of southern california. raised by his loving parents, sanford "sandy" and kirsten cohen, the young boy was brought up with good manners, great behavior, and a friendly attitude. right off the bat, he was never accepted by the kids whom went to school with him. being the nerdy kid in his class since preschool, carter learned to entertain himself... but most of all, he developed a strong dislike for the community, and the people inside of it, in which he lived by merely age ten.

young carter spent his time mostly alone, or with his parents, whom were his only friends. he perfected the act of gaming, and comic books also filled his mind almost constantly. but while he wasn't reading or gaming, he was sailing. yes, carter cohen can master the sails. at age twelve, carter was introduced to horse-back riding, and he fell in love with it rather quickly. so now the skinny nerd was not only one to be seen reading comic books and doing homework, but it was also common knowledge that he rode horses, which made him even more of an outsider.

all throughout highschool, carter rarely never accepted.. or even acknowledged by his peers. and his hate for orange county, california has never been stronger. lonely and bored, the teen decided that he needed to get away from the kids that had tormented him since before puberty. canterbury academy seemed to be the right place for him.

riding expierence:

having been in the saddle three days a week for the last five years, carter cohen developed good riding skills. having always had passion for jumping, he took to the english tack quickly and began to learn how to seemingly fly upon the back of a horse. at age fifteen, carter's parents surprised him with the christmas gift of a horse named beau (meaning "beautiful" in french). his horse, a beautiful and talented trakehner, helped to lead the teen successfully through the show ring.
