Answer the question about text:

I got through the year and if the joy had gone out of school for me , by the following year it was at least bearable . The kids had lost interest in being mean to me and a few of them were actually nice . And now my mom had wrecked the life I 'd scratched out for myself in Mountain View . I was separated from my family maybe for ever , headed to another small town , to a group home for juvenile delinquents -- which I was n't -- where I guessed I would be the youngest kid and the other kids would hate me for being a brainy goody two - shoes and I had to transfer to a new junior high .

Why was I going to a group home for juvenile delinquents ?
My parents sent me there because they thought I was a bad kid .
