A Word for Eric

If I could go into the book and say one thing to Eric, I would have to say... man up, Mobe!

Eric, you need to stand up for yourself. YOU. ARE. A. WIMP. You can't deal with any bullies, having Sarah Byrnes fight for you or having her roll you out of the school in a box, or you can't defend your points in CAT class. In CAT class, you rarely ever make your point unless it involves Mark Brittain being overly religious and bringing up points you really disagree with. Understandably, that's a good reason, because Mark Brittain needs to be taken off of his throne, per se, but why can't you do it with anyone else?

Eric, you're 18. You're nearly about to hit the real world. There will be times when there's nobody there to "hold your hand" and do everything for you. You have to do things for yourself if you want to be successful. Because Mark Brittain isn't the only person out there who you'll need to defend yourself against.
