...All I have to say is, I hope someone's telling him this.

How do we feel about Holden? (Bear with me, this was written on the 10th of February, but is just now getting posted sorry guys)
He's getting hella desperate. No one wants to give him the time of day it seems, and when he does get to meet up with someone, it doesn't take long for the conversation to turn south. I wish he had more people he could reliably talk to. He seems like a friend at this point, and I just want him to feel like he's got somewhere he's going. Not exactly to college, not exactly to another high school, not exactly to a job, though it might be where he ends up, but at least having some definite goal in the future, or at least know what he's doing. Some people can pull off wandering aimlessly, but Holden Caulfield is not one of these people. It's hurting him and I wish there was a way to tell him that.

I think the issue is not that he doesn't have people to talk to, it's that he doesn't take his time with them seriously. Lots of people come out in the middle of the night or day to see him, and entertain him, but he seem to want to. That's why they leave. Also, when someone he does trust talks to him, he dismisses them...People will talk to him if he treated him more respectfully/ accepts that he needs help.
