When Andy came back to school after the accident, he was wearing a bunch of Band-Aids. At least it took the attention away from me for a while"(9.4). ]]> 2023-05-23 02:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600901472 1595869 https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600901749 Gerald feels isolated protecting his secret—that his stepdad beats him. He doesn't want to hide it any longer, but he knows there'll be tough times ahead if he opens up about it. Plus, no one gets what he goes through. Sure, his buddies try to help out, but they don't really know how.]]> 2023-05-23 02:22:02 UTC https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600901749 1595869 https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600903798 "He's been real moody lately, Coach. Sometimes he just likes to be alone. He don't talk to us like he used to" (10.4).]]> 2023-05-23 02:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600903798 1595869 https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600904290 Andy's friends tell the coach that he's been pushing them away ever since the night of the accident. Andy might feel like no one cares about him when he commits suicide, but in reality, he isolates himself from his closest friends.]]> 2023-05-23 02:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600904290 1595869 https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600904942 "It's hard for us to understand why things like this happen, and I think you're doing a remarkable job of handling a very rough situation. You came back to the team, you're playing well—and we all support you. You know that. Actually, you are the glue that's holding the team together. Without you, we'd all fall apart" (10.31).]]> 2023-05-23 02:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600904942 1595869 https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600905130 Coach Ripley tells Andy not to blame himself for everything that's happened. Instead, he encourages him to be a part of the community of the team. The opposite of isolation is definitely being on a team and working together, which is what the coach wants for Andy.]]> 2023-05-23 02:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600905130 1595869 https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600906035 "With no friends to talk to or to go places with, life can be very lonely. It's sad to be alone—wanting to share your thoughts with a friend and having no one there, except maybe your little brother or sister, to be with. Sometimes I feel so alone I just want to cry" (26.2). ]]> 2023-05-23 02:24:45 UTC https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600906035 1595869 https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600906301 Keisha's essay talks about how tough life would be without friends. She thinks about her friends as her lifeline, helping her out during the tough times, and making her laugh no matter what. Andy, on the other hand, doesn't notice how important friendships are and cuts them all off when he's dealing with pain. ]]> 2023-05-23 02:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600906301 1595869 https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600906907 "Perhaps, but I see other things in his personality that concern me. When he's not causing noticeable disturbances, he's somewhat withdrawn. He's stopped combing his hair, he slumps in his seat, and he keeps his head down on the desk unless I constantly remind him to sit up and pay attention. Is he getting enough sleep at night?"

He's pulling away from everyone, not letting anyone in, as though he wants to be alone. His dad basically blows this observation off, though. ]]> 2023-05-23 02:25:29 UTC https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600907205 1595869 https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600908932 2023-05-23 02:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600908932 1595869 https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600909169 2023-05-23 02:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600909169 1595869 https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600909348 2023-05-23 02:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600909348 1595869 https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600909485 2023-05-23 02:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600909485 1595869 https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600909637 2023-05-23 02:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/1595869/2erfb2izrt4yfu9e/wish/2600909637
