Novel connection. When Richie punches Russell in the face, his mother wants to call the principal, however, Russell wants to keep quiet about the whole incident. Russell’s mom’s response was, “I’m not doing nothing. If one adult did this to another, he be in jail. Why should it be different for kids?” (p. 45)
Blog Question: Should kids solve their own problems or should adults/parents get involved? Explain.
I think when you are in a situation that Russell is in, you should get your parents involved. Since someone is trying to hurt you, it can be very serious. What Richie is doing is mental harassment and it can effect someone in a really bad way. When parents get involved they can talk to the principal or even the parents of the bully. Your parents are your source of protection and can help you get out of any bad situation. Even though it can be embarrassing, your parents know whats best for you and will understand what you are going through.
