The social issue in the book little & lion is bipolar disorder. One of the main characters (Lion) was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. This shows up through out the book during Lionel's mood swings and out burst. Like when he found out that his family would not be able to go to the Dodgers game this year because there dad had to work. In the text it says "No! This is fu*king bullsh*t!We are supposed to be together and this fu*king ruins everything." (page 174) This shows how short temper he became once he was diagnosed with bipolar. It shows up when he creates problems when not taking his pills. In the text it says "Im tired of feeling like a fu*king ginuea pig!"

One of the strategies we worked on was troubles in their relationship. Little and Lion are very open to each other about certain things, and then some things they are not.Lion and Little were having a conversation about a girl Lion likes, and he was being very open. He asked a bunch of questions about her to Little, since Little knows her. However Little wasn't very open and didn't say that she likes her, so Lion didn't know. Lion was also showing a lot of emotion, which he never did. Little stayed quiet because she didn't want to ruin his moment. This wasn't very good in their relationship because Little isn't saying how she feels, which makes them not be as close. I think she didn't say anything because she saw how happy he was, and he never is happy, so she let him be.
