Recently I read more about Craig and his life.I'm really proud of something that he did. Instead of choosing to kill himself by jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge; he called suicide hotline and they told him to go to the hospital. What really surprised me was that he was so close to killing himself but decided to stick through it and go to the hospital. I obviously didn't think that he would actually kill himself because I was in the middle of the book, but I thought that he would try and someone would catch him before he got the chance. When his mom asked what happened she was proud of him too because he made the right choice by trying to get help. Although he could have prevented this whole thing by not partying and doing drugs in the first place at Aaron's that night he got accepted into school. He did try. I get confused when people ask him if he hears voices, and he says no but really does. His reasonings is he doesn't want to be labeled crazy, but it just might be one of his symptoms. I still do feel that if Craig tried to get better he could. He's surrounded by a family that loves him and a healthy school environment, he could so easily be happy again. My prediction for the next part of the book is that he makes more progress in the hospital and discovers things about himself he never knew before.
