CREEPYPASTAS: JEFF THE KILLER

A creepypasta is a horror story created by regular people -just like you and me- with the only idea of SCARING the reader. It can be fictional as well as based on true stories...the one you are about to read was taken from real life. 

Jeff the Killer is one of the best known worldwide creepypastas and, once, one of the biggest serial murderers. This is the reason why we decided to tell his story.

His real name is Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer, the story begins when he and his family move to a new home because the father had been offered a job with a good salary. 

One day, when Jeff and his brother Liu were waiting for the bus, suddenly they are surprised by three boys on skateboards (these would have been 11 years old; they were only a year younger than Jeff and Liu). 

At that time one of the guys takes Liu’s wallet. Jeff threatens them and tells the boy to return the wallet to his brother. The guy pulls a knife and just before using it, Jeff breaks his wrist and takes the knife, the other two guys tried to escape but Jeff reaches them. He attacked, leaving one stabbed in the shoulder and the other one with a big punch in the stomach that breaks him down. 

Jeff sees the bus was coming and takes his brother and run. 

The next day, Jeff gets up from his bed and goes into the kitchen where he meets his angry mother and two police officers accusing him and Liu of assaulting three boys. Jeff, having no evidence that he was defending himself, confesses he had attacked the boys and his brother had nothing to do with it. But then Liu took a knife and put it in front of the cops, showing his bruises and saying he was to blame. 

Jeff tried to help him but the policemen believed Liu’s story and took him prisoner. 

During the following days Jeff and his parents just felt sadness and loneliness. 

One morning, Jeff's mother wakes him up saying he had to go to the birthday party of the son of Jeff’s neighbors. He was depressed for his brother and refuses to go but his mother made him forget about Liu and go anyway. 

Angrily, Jeff takes the most elegant clothing he had (which consisted of black trousers, a shirt and a white hooded sweatshirt) and went with his parents to the party. When he arrived, he only saw adults talking and some kids playing cowboys. Jeff thought one of the kids was staring at him, as asking him to play. He refuses because he believes he’s too old to play childish games. But the boy kept staring and finally asked him to join the game. 

He gave in and took a toy gun and started shooting at the children. 

For the first time in many days he had fun and was happy, but that happiness did not last long because the same guys who had assaulted Jeff and Liu crashed the party to get back at Jeff with knives and guns. Jeff fought with all his might and managed to kill two of the boys but during the fight, he ended bathed in chlorine and alcohol and very hurt, and when Jeff could not fight anymore, the third boy set him on fire. 

Jeff ends in the hospital, wearing a cast and his body covered in bandages. His mother told him that there were a lot of witnesses at the party and that there was a huge possibility of Liu being released. He was happy and hoped to see his brother soon. 

During the following days, Jeff’s recovery was almost complete. When the day came to take off Jeff’s bandages, his family was very nervous and did not know how his body after catching fire. When the doctor removed the bandages, his mother started screaming with fright and his father looked at Liu, shocked and terrified. Jeff gets up and looks in the bathroom mirror. He said: 'Perfect, this face shows WHO I TRULLY AM' and starts laughing nonstop. The worried mother asked the doctor what had happened and the doctor said 'it must be the anesthetic we gave him, but if it continues that way, bring him in to run some psychological tests' 

That night the mother was out of bed after hearing strange noises coming from the bathroom. When she looked in the room, he saw his son Jeff with a smile carved from ear to ear and black eye burns. The frightened mother asks who had done that and Jeff answers 'After a while smiling, my face started to hurt, so I carved a smile to always see my own beautiful face'

Then, his mother asked about the burns in his eyes. He replied 'After watching myself for a while my eyes started to shut down so I burnt my eyelids to always see my beautiful face' 

At this point the mother runs to her room to tell her husband Jeff had gone mad and wanted to kill them and they should do something. 

Liu, after hearing the screams, wakes up but -being so tired- goes back to sleep just before closing his eyes and seeing Jeff completely covered in blood. 

Liu tried to scream but his brother covered his mouth and just before stabbing him, he says 'GO TO SLEEP'

This is a true story. Nobody ever knew what happened to Jeff…he might still be out there.

THE HISTORY OF RIVER PLATE

The club was created in a neighborhood called La Boca in the year 1901. It’s the fusion of the clubs 'Santa Rosa' and 'La Rosales', and it adopted the name River Plate. The club had its stadium in Sarandí for a short time, and then the club moved to Recoleta where it had its own stadium.

After that, the club grew and because of that it had to move to Belgrano, where it is nowadays.

The stadium's official name is 'Antonio Vespucio Liberti' but it's called 'El Monumental': it's the biggest stadium in Argentina and the sixth in America with a capacity for 61321 people and it's where the National Football Team plays its matches.

The club is one of the 'Five Giants' of Argentine football, since the AFA implemented the proportional vote in 1937 which consists in giving more power of decision to the biggest and oldest clubs.

River Plate has a strong rivalry with the club Boca Juniors; the 'Superclásico' is the name that was given to the matches in which they faced each other being these the most important sports events in the country.

The greatest achievement that River Plate obtained was when it was named the World Champion after winning the match against the club 'Steaua de Bucarest' of Rumania in the national stadium of Tokio, in the final of the Intercontinental Cup. Thanks to that, River Plate is one of the 29 teams in the world that have won the maximum football championship of clubs.

River Plate is the biggest winner in the history of Argentine football with 56 titles. In its country, the club has the record of winning 36 championships of the first division. Furthermore, the club has got the title of champion in 8 national cups and 15 international titles.

River Plate is at the top of the historical table of the first division of Argentine football, because it is the club with the biggest number of matches won and goals scored. In addition, it is the club with less matches lost and less goals received, and it is the team which has won more times a 'Tricampeonato'.

SIXTEEN AND PREGNANT

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), adolescence is the period in the life of a person comprising between 10 and 19 years old. In some cases, adolescence is interrupted when the girl gets pregnant: one in five women in the world has a child before turning 18 and each year 16 million births to teenage mothers are produced. In the poorest regions of the world, one in three women is a teenage mother.

According to experts, the most appropriate age for motherhood is between 20 and 35 years old since is less risky for both the mother and the baby’s health. Teenage pregnancy is considered high risk and carries more complications. The adolescent is not ready physically or mentally to have a baby and to take the huge responsibility that motherhood brings.

Most of teenage mothers present:

- Poor nutrition and deficiency of essential nutrients for the proper development of the baby

- An increased number of spontaneous abortions

- Premature births, a large number of babies of teenagers are born before 37 weeks of gestation

- Babies are underweight because the immaturity of their body makes their uterus not fully developed

- Teen moms have more children with health problems and developmental disorders

- In cases of pregnancies among girls under 15, the baby is more likely to be born with malformations.

Psychological complications for pregnant adolescents:

- Fear to be rejected socially: one of the consequences of adolescence and pregnancy is that the girl feels criticized by her surroundings and tends to isolate from the group.

- Rejecting the baby: girls are not willing to take time and responsibilities involved in being a mother. However, this also makes them feel guilty, sad and their self-esteem is reduced.

- Telling their families about their pregnancy is often a source of conflict and even rejection by their own environment.

- The children of teenage parents often suffer higher rates of school failure, problems of social integration or learning.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended preventing teen pregnancy by:

• Stopping marriage before age 18, 
• Increasing the use of contraceptives during adolescence, 

In any case, the best prevention is to give young people a good sex education from the bosom of the family. It is important to report the risks and complications of pregnancy in adolescence and all the changes that will occur from the time when the teenager becomes pregnant.

Communication in the family is essential; therefore, it must be open and transparent so that young people have all the information they need.

We talked to Carolina and Sabrina, two girls that now are happy mothers, about their experience with pregnancy.

BT: What is your name?
C: Carolina.
BT: How old were you when you got pregnant?
C: 16 years old.
BT: What is your child's name? 
C: Benjamin.
BT: How are you now?
C: I'm fine with my husband and my beautiful son.
BT: How old is your son?
C: 5 years old.
BT: How did your parents react to the news?
C: Badly at first, because I was a teenager and their only daughter; but then they calmed down because they knew Gabriel -my husband- was going to take care of me.
BT: What was the first solution you found to your problem?
C: I wanted to keep my baby. And, after telling my husband, he agreed, so everything was easier. I was not alone.
BT: What bad consequences did the pregnancy bring?
C: The first thing I did was leaving school. Then my friends left me because they thought I was a bad influence.
BT: And now? 
C: I take care of my son and went back to school and now I'm in college studying medicine. Gabriel is a good father and since he learned that he would be father he worked hard. Then I started working to take better care of Benjamin.

BT: What is your name?
S: Sabrina
BT: How old were you when you got pregnant?
S: 15 years old.
BT: How did your parents react?
S: They were angry, but they didn’t want me to get an abortion.
BT: And your partner?
S: He said he wasn’t ready to be a father, so he left and decided he didn’t want anything to do with my child.
BT: What was the first solution you found for that problem?
S: I decided to have my baby.
BT: What consequences did it bring you?
S: I had to leave school. I could not see my friends. In my school, when they found out I was pregnant, I was criticized.
BT: And how did you feel?
S: Depressed and lonely.
BT: Did you regret the decision you made?
S: No, because I love my daughter Lorena. Since I found out I was expecting a child, I had a unique and special feeling.
BT: Why did you get pregnant? Did you use protection? 
S: We did but the condom was pricked.
BT: What would you say to other girls that are teenagers and pregnant? 
S: It is not easy to raise a child alone. Before having sex, think about the consequences that it can bring to you and your families.

After reading about this issue and listening to those girls talk about their children, we came to the conclusion that when someone is mature enough to have sex (without using protection –sometimes-) then that person should be prepared to face the consequences and responsibilities of it.

If you still want to have sex, GET INFORMED FIRST, read, ask your parents or teachers. Using a condom or taking pills can be a safe way of avoiding not only pregnancy, but also lots of sexually transmitted diseases.

INFORM YOURSELF. BE SAFE. STAY SAFE.
