Henry's personality makes him a perfect fit for this role as a teenage psychologist. After the first class he had the first conversation with Meredith, the latter said she wished she was as strong, but Henry said, "It doesn't take that strength, Meredith. You must understand that unfortunately most of people are act on their self-awareness. You should really keep that in mind and you will have that chance at your second period. You will meet them again at every age." This passage perfectly showcases Henry's self-closure and kindness, but Meredith But it seems to understand. After Meredith started having a crush on Henry, she sent him a collage saying, "you always seem so sad, if you are having a hard time, and you need someone to talk to... "However, the other party stood up and approached her, saying, "Meredith, do you want to have a heart-to-heart talk?" "Henry is acutely aware of how one person wants to trust another person. But first, he doesn't talk about himself to others, so he avoids the ill effects of talking to teenagers who are too sensitive and Too fragile to bear the pain, if the person who confides is someone you love, maybe they will be led into the abyss together, then it is impossible to educate young people on the right track. Second, because there was also a painful childhood Through the experience, Henry has a strong sense of empathy, and he has become a very good listener. Meredith began to collapse, talking about a lot of his inner hesitation and fear, holding Henry tightly and hoping to be comforted. At this time, Henry's role as a bystander It started to work again, he pushed her away, which was actually necessary, but Meredith still didn't understand. Maybe because of the ridicule of her classmates and the taunt of her father, maybe because of her more than normal level of gloom and sensitivity, Meredith couldn't support it anymore. , Henry's push seemed to her to be equivalent to closing the only door to find herself, so in the end she chose to commit suicide.
Another character in the play, the street girl, is a different type of teen, fierce and free of scruples. All of Henry's guidance to her was quickly responded positively. (There are some small details that prove that Henry is indeed a good educator, such as telling the girl to ask what medicine before taking it, such as asking the client to give the prostitution money directly to the girl instead of himself. - Apparently the man mistakenly thought that Henry was a pimp , and Henry did this to let the girl know that even in prostitution she should be her own master.) In the end, the girl was sent to a teenage correctional center, and she cried like a child abandoned by her parents, but it didn't take long for her to become When Henry went to visit her, she jumped up happily as if all resentment was gone. She is blunter than Meredith, and more powerful than her, (the most important thing is that she is better than her and thinner than her...-_-b) So Henry rescued her, maybe she can be rescued in the future, using a kind of way to stay away.
After Meredith committed suicide, Henry had a meeting with a female colleague he was dating and said, "I realized something today, I'm not a person you are, you shouldn't be here... I am not here... You may see me, but I am a hollow." Meredith's death made him sad, and it reassured him that he could not (would be sad) nor (would destroy) deep relationships with others. At the end of the film, after ushering in a warm and refreshing reunion, it fell into gloom again. For Henry, his delicate and fragile heart can't be found, all that's left is to supplement from it, and stay cool.
