a nice read, I must say. 
 as I ventured deeper into the subconciousness of Mr. Craig Gilner, I discovered that we're not quite so different... Craig & I. I can relate to his situation. I, too, was once held captive to pressure and the consequences it held. this may seem a little personal but when I gave into pressure, I fell unto a routine that I could run to whenever I got stressed. I ran to that routine for like a year before anyone noticed. P.S. it wasn't self-harm, I swear. then my folks got a shrink for me. well, she didn't actually do anything. she just talked to me and asked me what I was afraid of and asked me some more other stuff. then the urge to run back to that routine faded away although it sometimes pops up once in a while. this happened to me when I was a whole lot younger. right now, I'm 15 and so's Craig (well, he's eternally 15. preserved on paper since he's sort of fictional) and I think I've got it altogether when no one's really got it altogether. but I think I've coped. I've managed. and I think that's the whole point of this book. and also, the whole point of life.
