The answer must be the other kids ignoring him. Being socially cut off can be unhappy and discouraging for anybody, but particularly for children. Out of all these factors, Billy's separation from his friends is probable the toughest root of his profound and dramatic depression because the human need for recognition is more life-threatening than either belongings or attainments.
