1. In today's world I do think that young people grow up too quickly. Alot of teenagers and younger kids seem to be the ones supporting their family in this day and age. Many families with alot of kids in the house rely on the oldest children to make some money to support them.
I also see alot of kids having to buy thier own clothing, and also sometimes food. I think that if an adult decides to have a child they should be able to care for them and provide them what they need.
2. Gerald is different from other high school students because he is the one that is holding the family together. He takes care of his sister and makes money to get the family what they need while Jordan was in jail and not able to make money for the family. Most kids in high school do not have that much to worry about and do not have to care for a younger sibling by themselvs. The way Gerald is now will affect him when he gets older because he will learn to take care of himself as well as for others. I think him having these expierences will make him stronger and he will learn from them.
3-E. A time in my life when I had to choose between what was popular and what i knew was right was when there was a new girl at my old school and she could not find her class. She was getting laughed at and people were calling her names because of her getting lost. Some of the more "popular" kids would laugh and make negative facial expressions at her while they walked past and it was making her upset. A few of my friends were also making fun aswell but I knew that it wasnt fun at all being the new kid. While she was Wlking down the halls looking for her class, I went over and helped her find it and talked to her and made her feel more comfortable in the new environment. My friends said I was a looser and that I ditched them for her but it felt right to help someone who was lost and uncomfortable around new people.
