He soon sees his once-perfect future crumbling away.& The stress becomes unbearable and Craig stops eating and sleeping'until, one night, he nearly kills himself. Craig?'s suicidal episode gets him checked into a mental hospital, where his new neighbors include a transsexual sex addict, a girl who has scarred her own face with scissors, and the self-elected President Armelio.& There, isolated from the crushing pressures of school and friends, Craig is finally able to confront the sources of his anxiety.
