In this section, Charlie confronted Susan about whether or not she missed Michael. Afterward, he reflected on the fact that if Michael were still here, Susan probably wouldn't hang out with him anymore. Charlie then says, "Because things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anyone."

How do you think Charlie has changed since Michael passed? Do you think Charlie would have stayed friends with Michael and never met Sam and Patrick?

Patrick went through a lot in this section, especially with Brad. He relied on Charlie as a friend but ultimately was just excited about graduation so that he could start the next chapter of his life.

Do you think this is a typical feeling for seniors in high school to have or do you think that Patrick mentions it so often because of everything he recently went through?

Charlie describes a scene in the book the Fountainhead where the main character said "I would die for you. But I won't live for you." Then Charlie said " I think the idea is that every person has to live for his or her own life and then make the choice to share it with other people."

Do you agree with Charlies interpretation of this quote and why? If not what is your own interpretation?

In this section, all of Charlie's close friends and sisters are graduating. This makes Charlie sad because he relies on them at home and in school.

At the beginning of this section, Charlie also said:
"I don't know how much longer I can keep going without a friend. I used to do it very easily, but that was before I knew what having a friend was like. It's much easier not to know things sometimes."

Do you think, after seeing him already act differently during the last week of school and after hearing this quote, that next year Charlie will fall back into his old habits and why?
