As I was reading this book, I found it very realistic, because in school you might be embarrassed about one of your old friends that don't hang out with the cool kids, and not want to talk to them when you are around your cooler friends, so that you can stay cool. In the book for example on (Pg 88-89), Blinky walked up to to Paul and charlie and asked, " what are you guys talking about" and Paul said, " nothing much but our algebra class," knowing in his that he was just trying to get rid of her. These quotes show the the story was realistic in some ways because some times in school you sometimes don't want to talk to your old elementary/ middle school friends because there not as cool as you and you friends you have now. All because you want people to think you are so cool and you don't want to be looked down upon by the cool kids. That is sometimes exactly how high school can be.
In conclusion the book Breaking Point was about the peer pressure teens/kids can go through in school. It shows how a kid in school, feels lonely, not accepted by classmates, and then in order to feel accepted does something they normally wouldn't do. In Paul's case, it was running with Charlie's group, changing grades, releasing a virus into the school's computer, and tormenting David. It also tell of the consequences of falling to peer pressure.
