I thought this was possibly a human interest piece with a factual basis. The somber mood set by the music and the "matter of fact" way the story is presented in text. This worked for it aside from the spelling errors.
Also, you can't assume the reading speed of everyone, so add an interactive button to progress to the next frame or scene when there's only text to read.
The graphics aren't stylized enough to look original, which so many contributors on this site fall into. It's obviously easy to draw circles and squares. Spend some more time working out your characters and draw them by hand.
Maybe it was in good taste that Joey's rape in the shower was only assumed to have happened and not graphically represented.
As far as reviewers go, I would say a huge majority of those here on NG are pre-teens with a desire to just have SOMETHING to post, so they post some quick crap and go shit on everyone else's work. There are some really good artists to be found here on NG, but you're right...everyone deserves a chance and a mature critique.
If you're serious about animating, keep it up.
