What makes you say he doesn't write particularly well? Most 8th graders that I know don't write this well. I personally thought he communicated very well how he felt and what transpired. I also didn't get the impression that he is blaming his parents - or anyone really, I think he's blaming the system in general. School is exhausting. Don't know about you, but when I got home from school I just needed an hour to unwind. Usually it was watching TV with my sister for an hour before starting homework. Sure, some people may be wired differently and "suck it up" and just put up with it, but I think decompressing after a hard day of work is probably healthy.
