My claim is That he is sad that ben had died and that he "failed"  to save ben from drowning.

I think he tried his hardest and shouldint blame himself but i think he should feel bad that the kid died but not blaming himself.He should try counseling and doing hobbies i think that would help him in this.He tried his hardest to save him. Hes only a kid too because its not like he has a emergency kit on him.Also maybe one reason that he is blaming himself is that he lost his friends during this time.well he might have not lost them they just don't talk to him anymore.

This must be hard because they all live close together and he sees them everyday at school so its harder.He should try to get his friends back so they can help him through his hard time.I think he might have other friends but these used to be his best friends.I think he might be blaming himself because he feels bad that he didn't save ben.I would feel bad to but not for that long.

I don't think digger is a good guy because he smokes.Also he is the reason ben died and Mrs DiAngelo got in the hospital.Digger should either turn himself in or Have JT or Brady to tell the cops and turn them in to them.Digger drilled holes into the kayak so he could try to get rid of Mr DiAngelo but instead of killing him.Digger killed his son ben and injured Mrs DiAngelo.Digger did a stupid thing.
