In this discussion,we talked about how his mom is bipolar. We say this because she would treat him right then out of nowhere she would abuse him. We also talked about how people at his school would bully him like Aggie. During a school field trip, while David was gazing at at the water she told him to jump because it was the only way to escape life. Also, he brought his mom a letter that the principal sent. It said that he was a top student and that he won a school competition. His mom automatically ripped it up and both verbally and physically abused him. In this chapter he always wanted his mom to stab him already.
These last chapters were so sad and frustrating,more than usual. I say this because he thought about suicide more often and he his hatred grew and grew. His dad also left the family like a coward. It made me really mad when he came to the house drunk and took his things and said goodbye to David,diminishing his promises of 'both' of them leaving. David was scared after his dad left because he felt that he had no protection anymore. His mom had a bipolar moment when her husband left, she let David dine with her and his siblings.He thought about sucide a lot when his mom tore up the letter and called him an "it" and when his classmate Aggie told him to jump and when his dad left the house for good. I was confused why his siblings would act like nothing happened when his mom allowed them to play and when their mom didn't allow it they would treat him really badly. At one point David got tired of it so he began to rebel. When they were at the grocery store,he mouthed off to his brother and ignored his moms commands.When they got in the car his mom told them they could stomp on him and hit David for mouthing off to them. We also found out that his mom did this because she also got abused by her parents. I don't agree or justify her in any way I mean some parents would strive to treat their kids better and other parents take out their anger and feel like getting revenge on their own children. People cope with things differently.
I absolutely loved this book. I hope to read similar stories like this and try to help out kids that are going through this. After this book I appreciate things more and don't judge others for their appearance at first glance. This book gets a 1000 out of 10
