3.2.2 Wall Family
3.2.2.1 Threatening to control kid’s behaviour
Stuart Wall was adopted by Colin Wall and Tessa Wall. As the time went on, the relationship between Colin and Fat strained. Colin as a father figure was so
temperamental, he always scolded him if he was wrong and threatened to punish him if he did his mistake again, but this was merely a threat but he never did that to
Stuart moreover Tessa sometimes on Fat side. “I don’t think he’s—“ began Tessa, but Colin was talking again.
“—So, he’ll get detention like everyone else and I’ll damn well punish him at home too. We’ll see how he likes that, shall we? We’ll see whether that’s a
laughing matter. We can start by grounding him for a week, we’ll see how funny that is.” p.95
3.2.2.2 Loose rules
There was not strict rules in Wall Family, or we can say that the rules were made to be broken. It was not difficult for Stuart to lie or give a reason to his
parents when he wanted to do the things his parents prohibited. Moreover, they wouldn’t bother to check what he was really doing.
A swift burst of rat-like activity greeted her approach to the door. She knocked, giving Fats time to hide whatever it was he had been looking at
online, or, perhaps, the cigarettes he did not know she knew about.p.98
From the explanation above, the researcher can conclude that Stuart’s parents used different parenting style. Collin tried to use Authoritarian but his
wife,Tessa used Permissive Parenting Style.

3.3.1.1 Krystal
Krystal was a type of brutal and uncontrolled student. It was not new for her to get in touch with her guidance counselor. She often escaped the class, lied
about something, stole things that were not hers, fought with other students and didn’t hesistate to wound or hit her friend if it was needed. Krystal didn’t mind to
be called slut, even how she got dressed could explain it that she proper to be called that way.
She was bouncing along, laughing uproariously, in the middle of a mixed group of teenagers. Multiple earrings swung from each ear, and the string of
her thong was clearly visible above her low-slung tracksuit bottoms p.29

3.3.1.2 Andrew
Simon Price called Andrew peanut because his allergy and pizza face for his acne. He d
idn’t care if it influences Andrew’s confidence. He was not as brave as Fat to confess his feeling for Gaia, his crush. Andrew cared so much on his
appearance. He made sure that he got his best look in front of Gaia. In Hilltop House, Andrew Price was styl
ing his hair with his mother’s blow- drier. He had never looked forward to a disco or a party as much as he had
longed for tonight. p. 469
3.3.1.3 Sukhvinder
Sukvinder hate herself, her own body. She waited until all of her family felt asleep then she began to slice her wrist. It left ugly scars on her wrists, so she
always wore long sleeves to hide it. “But wh – Jesus,” said Gaia.
Sukhvinder had pulled back the sleeves of her sweatshirt. Her inner arms were covered in ugly criss-cross scars, and angry fresh-clotted cuts travelled up
from her wrist to her inner arm. p. 396
3.3.1.4 Stuart
Stuart was depicted an average boy, but he was so confident because he was popular enough with his humorous. He deemed that his adoptive parents were
less resilient than him. For him, they were just object of fun, especially his father. His loping walk, his skinniness, his thin sallow face, overlarge ears and
permanently pained expression were distinctive enough, but it was his trenchant humour, his detachment and poise that set him apart. p.30
