(three:family issues) :[

There were a lot of family issues in this book. It seemed that most of the kids in the Anger Management class were there because of family problems. Even though Bo went into the class because of calling a teacher a name, it was a family problem that caused that. I thought that Hudgie and Shelly had the worst family problems. I was shocked to hear what happened to Hudgie and his dog on Valentines Day. You already know about that because you probably read the book or read blog 2...hint hint. I didn’t expect that to happen in the book or anything big to happen to any of the other characters. I was really shocked to hear about Hudgie and what happened to his dog. I kind of forgot completely about the rest of the story when I heard about that. I was also shocked about Shelly’s story. Before in the story Bo said that Shelly just joined in because she wanted to and I thought that that was kind of strange. Shelly has had a hard life and it was cool that she was willing to share her story with Bo after only knowing him for a little while. When Shelly told her story that was surprisingly one of my favorite parts of the book. It was one of my favorite parts of the book because it seemed like she started in a rough place and picked up the pieces and has made the best of her life ever since. I think it was hard for Bo to hear Mr.Nak to say that his dad was the reason he has anger problems. In my mind it seemed like BO didn’t want to believe that and he didn’t want to believe Mr. Nak at all. In the end of the book, Bo takes the time to talk to his dad and ask him to go into counseling with him to figure out their problems. I was really happy to read that Bo and his dad wanted to solve their problems and become better people to themselves and especially to each other. I was really, really, really, REALLY mad when I read about Bo’s dad leaving the counselor after the doctor asked Bo’s dads about his feelings for his dad and Bo said that is the same way he feels for him. I think that kind of made Bo’s dad feel ashamed and he now knows what Bo has been going through all these years and he feels horrible for what he has done to him. It kind of sucks that they don’t say if they talk in the end but I believe that they wont solve their problems at all because of all the issues they have had in the past and the ones that will affect them in the future. After reading the book I kind of wondered if Mr.Nak had any problems with his family. He didn’t really say much about his family, just about how he drove drunk and got in a car accident and his kids died. I wish he would have said what his relationship with his kids were. I think he was probably a good dad because of the way he treats the Anger management class kids or at least I hope he was. I’m also glad he Is going back to Texas to start over and it’s a lesson to the kids that you shouldn’t run away from everything and this shows that he is going back and not leaving that behind just because something horrible happened there.
