I think you misunderstand me. I'm saying that as a member of the 1% of America's income tax bracket, mutants born under this umbrella are viewed as blights and are either ignored, or the mutant issue is never addressed. Parents pretend that there's not problem to other members of their social groups without ever bringing up the fact that they are mutants. You have no idea how many dinner parties I have attended where I was put aside just because I'm a mutant. My voice is never heard in such debates and I side with my own kind.

Before I came to this school, I hated what I am. I was taught that hate from my peers, family and the staff at the schools I attended. Instead of putting on my record "Mutant", they instead labeled me as a disciplinary problem. Is that fair? No. I am what I am. It took three schools and a burned down gym to realize this. My own father refuses to tell anyone that I attend Xavier's. He removed me from the family register, had me emancipated, and I'm living off the interest of my own trust fund. I have no family. My father's estate is going to my half-brother from my father's second marriage and has said that Jacob is his only son.

I'm not complaining, I'm just putting it out there.

I'm in this just the same as you are. The rich, middle-class and poor are all affected and the common thing most families do? They tell their kids that powers are bad and we shouldn't use them. Period. We are taught to ignore and hate ourselves for it because we're different. It's an irritating fact.

Those that embrace it? Good on them. At least they had the support and are taught the right way. Now, I'm not saying they don't have their own share of problems and there's no telling how many more are out there that have the same problems as you or me. In fact, I plan on taking a stand. This is my last year in high school and I plan on taking Political Science and Economics. At least there, I can try to make a difference on their own battlefield.

If it's a fight they want, I'll bring it. Make no doubt about that.
