Character Tuesdays! Jason Voorhees

Jason, my special, special boy. Do you know what your gift is? No matter what they do to you, you cannot die. You can never die. You've just been sleeping, honey. But now, the time has come to wake up. Mommy has something she wants you to do. I need you to go to Elm Street. The children have been very bad on Elm Street. Rise up, Jason. Your work isn't finished. Hear my voice and live again. Make them remember me, Jason. Make them REMEMBER WHAT FEAR TASTES LIKE. - Mrs. Voorhees

Jason Voorhees, one of America's favorite horror villains. Becoming a horror fanatic and a Scream Queen I've always been drawn to Jason and his life. Yes we all know I am 100% Freddy's girl but I can't help but have a secret love affair with Jason Voorhees. Is it because he's the strong silent type? Or because his childhood hits close to home with me? I like both of those suggestions :) All Jason wanted was to be loved and to be liked by the other kids, we all did when we were that age. Jason was born with a facial deformity which made him look different and for that he was teased and bullied by the other kids at his summer camp. Just because someone looks a different way doesn't mean they deserve to be treated like shit and made fun of. While he was at summer camp all the kids were throwing rocks at him, pushing him and trying to shove a burlap sack over his head.



The bullying and pushing got so bad that all the kids ended up pushing Jason into the lake and running away. Jason not being the best swimmer ended up drowning at Camp Crystal Lake. While Jason was drowning all the camp counselors were out banging each other since getting laid was more important to them then paying attention to the kids. The counselors end up killing Jason's mother Mrs. Voorhees and with Jason being a huge mommas boy tramatizes him. Because of his mother's death Jason comes back from the grave to punish the kids who come to Camp Crystal Lake. In my opinion I don't think Jason was a bad person, his mother on the other hand is a different story. Like I said all Jason wanted was to be liked and accepted but since he looked a different way all the kids wouldn't be friends with him cause they thought he looked weird.



Jason wasn't a bad person he just turned into a killer because having your mother get killed and to be teased non stop by the other kids will take it's toll on you and mess up anyone. The reason why I became drawn to Jason is because in a way we had the same childhood. The kids weren't as bad to me as they were to Jason, they didn't throw rocks at me or push me in the lake having me drown but I was teased all the time by the other kids in school since I wore hearing aids. All I wanted was to be liked by everyone and to be accepted but I wasn't because I didn't fit up to THEIR standards and heaven forbid they be friends with the girl who wore hearing aids. Everyone just needs to be nice and friends with everyone because it's better to be friends with people then to be enemies. I've mentioned in my other post titled "Stop the Bullying" we all need to be nice and treat everyone with respect cause you never know what that person your teasing is going through. You never know that one word or that one push might be the tip of the ice burg and that person goes berserk. The moral of that story and this Character Tuesdays is you bully someone plan on getting murdered cause you never know if your dealing with a Jason Voorhees.
