Indledning
Growing up can be hard, because not all children are born in happy families. Today more and more young kids struggle, with unstable parents and violence in the home.
The fear of the consequences of telling about the abuse, are stopping children from telling the truth to the world.
Many end up being like their parents. They have been raised, with violence and therefore think that, that is how they should raise their own children.

Uddrag
The protagonist is the boy named Matt and through the story, he is the 1st person narrator. It does not say in the text how old he is, but after what is described he is a young teenager.
He describes himself as lanky and skinny. He is told, with large eyes and lashes more suited to a girl. Matt is very observative, and when he a night, is sleeping in his room, he can hear his moms snoring through the wall.
When he can’t sleep from his moms snoring, he sneaks out, and goes over to his best friend's house. In school he thinks all his friends are losers, they are always whining.
Matt also gives the expression that he is not a person who cares a lot and is not the type of person who starts a fight. He is trying to take care of his school, but it is hard when the life at home is not stable.
In school he struggles with words and numbers, and that made it even harder for him to get through school.
