Ch.12 - Due Friday Nov.21st

1) What happens between Jared and Austin in the nurses office?

2) What do we learn about Austin and his dad? How does this affect how he treats Jared?

3)Think about times when people have mistreated you. You don't need to give examples, but think about the why behind it. Considering this, how might you react to negative treatment differently in the future?

Austin kind of opend up to jared and told him things no one else knew

his dad is a pushy person who wonts his son to be in the olypics. It shows that Austin had to be competitive so he would win.

1) austin tells jared "sorry" and explains why he is so mean.
2) His dad wants him to go to the olympics, it makes him feel down because he might not be good enough so he puts other people down and one of those people is jared.
3) the person might treat others that way because they might be treated badly, you never no someones full story.

1. i think they actually started getting along, and they opended up to eachother.
2. Austin's dad wants him to be in the olympics. so the reason austin runs so well is because his dad pushes him to. it does affect how he treats jared because he isn't meaning to be the first best, he just trys really hard to make is dad proud.
3. maybe the reason they are treating you bad is because they get treated bad, and they are taking it all out on you.

1. Jared feels really bad about what happens and Austin says he's scared about his dad because he can't run.
2. Austin says thats the only thing he's really good at and his dad wants him to go to the olmpics and he just is really mean to Jared because he's scared of his dad.
3. I would probbally just try to walk away and try to forget about but I would proubbally be really upset in my head.

1)Austin admits to Jared that he has been a real snot to him and that they could have been good friends if he wasn't always so mean and snotty to Jared

2)Austin's dad pushed him really hard in running so that it was really all that Austin was good at and that his dad wanted him to go to the olympics

3)I might think about if they are troubled person his always bullyed themselves or if there just doing it for the fun of it.

1) Austin confesses and tells Jared that he doesn'yt rally hate him he's just very competitive.

2) Austin's dad wants Austin to get to the Olympics and so he treats himkind of bad and that makes Austin so competitive that he trys to make his opponets think that they are going to do bad.

3) I would want to know why they are mad at me and then work it out.

1] Jared walks Austin down to the nurses and they have a sort of bond together and Austin stared talking to Jared.
2]Well Austins dad is very hard on him to get to the Olympics and that makes Austin more competitive to Jared, and puts alittle pressure on him.,
3] I could maybe also think about what there going through, and always NO LIEING(: tell the truth and i always try to talk to themm .

1) Austin apologized to Jared for being so mean to him and said that they could have been best freinds instead of hating each other.

2)Austins dad pressures him and that causes Austin to be too competitive with Jared and teases him.

3)I would just ignore it and if they laughed then i would laugh along and wouldnt let anything bother me.

1) Austin is nice to Jared and feels bad about the way he treated Jared.
2) His dad wants him to go to the olympics and running is the only thing he's good at. He treats Jared that way because he wants him to believe he is second best.
3) I would try to be nice to the person even though they aren't nice to me.

1)Austin told Jared that the reason he did all that( always being better and being very mean to him) was becasue he wanted to make his father proud because he said that he had to get into the olympics so he thought if he didn't that he would let his father down.

Austin apoligises and is very sincere.


his dad is one of those dads if your not good at something than your not worth anything.

I would tell them to stop.

Sorry I forgot to do #2 and 3.
2)Austin's dad is very hard on him becasue he expects alot from him. this affects their friendship becasue Austin is very competitive.
3)I think the reason people do stuss like that is because they have something else happening in their life. I will be very nice and just kind of shrug it off.

1) When Austin and Jared are in the nurses office, Austin tels Jared a secret that no one else knows and Austin apoligezes for making Jared feel embarased/humiliated.

2) We learned that Austin's dad is very pushy on him, and expects a lot from him. His dad expects him to go to the Olympics, but now that Austin hurt his foot, he may not be able to compete in the race. This affects how he treats Jared because, Austin is probably afraid of Jared being better at running that him someday, and so he feels that he has to humiliate/embarress Jared so that he won't beat him in the race.

3) I will stick up for what is right, by walking away or put myslef in their postion because maybe I don't their full story.

1) Austin apologizes to Jared and opened up to him telling him things about his life that no one else knew.

2) Austin's dad is a controlling father and running is the only thing that Austin is good at. His dad wants him to go to the Olympics.

3) They only make fun of you because it makes themselves feel good.
