It sucked. Everything sucks. No matter how much Praise tried to succeed, it never worked. Crying, tearing his hair out, wanting answers he just couldn't get... It all just sucked. But it's not like he could change anything now. In the end, he's still just a kid. He has no authority whatsoever. They all say, "Your only job is to go to school and get good grades." But even if you try your hardest to get the best grades you can, if you don't get the right answers, don't expect to get anything good.

And of course, that has never been his only job, nor has anyone's his age. There's so much more that doesn't meet the eye. But, Praise wasn't going to dwell on these things the adults didn't want to hear out. If he had to handle them by himself, he will. Or at least, with the guidance of his God and his friends. More than anything, he just wanted to be heard.
