Chapter 14

In chapter 14, Matt lists some things, which his parents say to him and say about him. A few things could hurt him mentally and could make him sad. But the other things are harmless. In my opinion it is very hard to hear things like:”He is depressed. …” or “He is rude to Alex. Alex loves him.”
Some of these things remind me of my relationship with my parents. There was a time, when my parents say similar things to me. During that time, it is much harder to be happy and friendly than it is, when your relationship to your parents is good and you can talk to them about everything you want to. During a bad relationship to your parents it is important to have friends because you need friends to talk about things, which you can't talk about at home with your family. But Matt doesn't accept the help of his friends. So he has to find a solution to adjust his life to be happy.
