Jake Drake, Bully Buster

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of bullying.

When Jake gets home, he grabs the television remote from his younger sister, Abby, and changes the channel to Batman. Abby protests, and Jake tells her there is nothing she can do to stop him. He kicks the pillow she is sitting on. Abby yells for their mother, claiming that Jake kicked her. Jake and Abby’s mother comes into the room and reprimands Jake, telling him to give his sister the remote back. When he tosses it to Abby, it hits her in the leg. She yelps, and Jake’s mother marches him into the kitchen and sits him down for a talk. She tells him that this is not how they treat each other in this family and asks what is wrong. Suddenly, Jake realizes that he is treating Abby badly because Link has been treating him badly. He does not want to tell his mother that he has “caught BULLYITIS” because he is afraid his mother will call Link’s mother (27). He knows that if this happens, Link will tell everyone that he is a baby who cried to his mommy, and he will never hear the end of it.
