Billy comes home from school crying almost every day. he is depressed and has a hard time sleeping. when his parents ask him what is wrong, he tells them that he is failing algebra, he has lost his favorite baseball mitt, his favorite baseball team has just lost a big game, and that the other kids in school have ostracized him. which factor is most likely responsible for the majority of billy's emotional state?

The answer must be the other kids ignoring him. Being socially cut off can be unhappy and discouraging for anybody, but particularly for children. Out of all these factors, Billy's separation from his friends is probable the toughest root of his profound and dramatic depression because the human need for recognition is more life-threatening than either belongings or attainments.
