Don’t even mention them to me.” (page 2) It states that Holden hates movies, yet he’s always going to go see them. If he hated them so much he wouldn’t go to seem them.

I decided I’d never go home again and I’d and I’d never go away to another school again” He’s sixteen and he’s already deciding to drop out of school to go away from everyone and starting his new life on his own.
These problems force her to grow up and take on responsibilities that she should not have to deal with at her age.

I believe Paul was afraid of this happening to either him or his friends if they were to return home. Throughout the first few chapters, Paul describes how ecstatic everyone, including himself, is for the war. At the end of chapter three, Paul says, “And an old buffer was pleased to describe us as ‘young heroes.’” The soldiers were viewed as heroes; this made them look forward to war.

The effects of SLCN on young people - Task 12 There is a strong correlation between EBD (emotional and behavioural difficulties) and those who have SLCN ( speech, language and communication needs). Many of the behavioural difficulties that arise from SLCN are avoidable by early detection and intervention, this is still very much lacking within social care provisions and many children and young people’s difficulties go undetected for too long. Many parents and settings are quick to label ‘naughty’ children and would prefer to let someone else deal with them than to look at the root of the problem and see if there is a reason behind these behaviours. There are many agencies that can help, much of the problem is that people don’t also realise there is a problem to begin with. Families that are aware of the problem aren’t always made aware of what help is available for them and although this has had more parliamentary support and has been further prioritised, it hasn’t been widely publicised.
