For the past year society's standards of homosexuals has changed dramatically, last summer gay marriage has been legalized in all 50 states in the us. Now sympathizers of transgender are trying to advocate for bathroom changes for transgender, these people are demanding equal rights to bathrooms that they associate with.

This quote identifies that the life he has at home is never the way he expected it to be and he always got into fights with his parents.

His mother would constantly find a reason to make him feel less of himself; not being

Greg also talked about how cameras would follow him around. The third event that happened in my book was when Greg sent a balloon and this one kid named Maddox responded to his balloon but the kid popped the balloon so greg’s teachers didn 't believe him so they did not expect his entry.
