This is a great thing that he went through because he tried these things to be with Julia, and he found out about himself in the process.

Scott also started to become more independent and to think for himself. For example scott went to the hospital after Louden attempted to hang himself.

Scott learns about facing consequences in this book. The first time he faces consequences is when he talks to Julia and gets beat up by Vernon. He gets beat up by Vernon because he beat up Kyle, and Kyle got him back by telling Vernon that Scott liked Julia. Also Wesley took Scott to the coffee shop one morning and Scott was late to school then he got a detention. Scott wrote small letters to his brother that is not born yet so that his brother wouldn’t make the same mistakes he did in high
