Cassidy Howe period 6 chapter 7

Agree: This was a hard decision for me to make because as a kid, you were always taught to do what your parents told you. Still to this day you still do the things you were taught. Sure Tom and Maria do horrible things to Matt and treat him like an animal or worse, but they were taught those things. If they were taught to treat him well and with respect I'm sure this would be a totally different story. Technically, they don't treat him badly just because, they just don't know any other way.
