This little short story just made me sad. Jonathon is bullied at school and at home by an abusive father, his mom is just a doormat. After the accident that he took the blame for, he goes from being the bullied to being the bully. All too often, this is the case and I watched him go to being the bully I just felt sad that the cycle would continue even without billy. I would like to know what happens after. His mother blamed him for them being sued when she really should have asked more questions. Did she not even know her son? And her husband? Very quick little story, but very thought provoking
