Break the Haughty: Apparently failing high school and being forced to get his GED was a part of the reason why Teddy outgrew his bullying ways and became a Nice Guy.

Book Dumb: Teddy doesn’t perform well academically, but spent most of his adult life managing a complex social life that allowed him to appear more well-off than he actually was. This becomes justified later when it’s revealed that he has a learning disability.

That Came Out Wrong: Mila attempts to defy this when she tells Theresa that she's going to try and get into college after getting her GED because seeing the other night school students has given her more incentive not to turn out like them; Theresa assures Mila that she understands what the younger girl means, and even suggests that they try and get into the same college.
