His family is very strict, and once, when he failed to pick up his sister from the rail station, they did not celebrate his birthday. He also writes about staying home once because of the same old argument about his going out too much. Perhaps his parents had good reason. He seems to spend a lot of time hanging around street corners and going to \"John's Place\".
