Balancing her responsibilities and school, Bonnie was burdened with an anxiety disorder that evolved to a Intermittent explosive disorder causing her to have violent outbursts, screaming and destroying anything around her. This caused Bonnie to be a target at school, kids wanting to see what buttons to press to set her off and watch the show, entertainment for them, torment for her, her mother is embarrassed by this behavior and criticizes her harshly for it not understanding its a mental disorder and not deliberate , only making Bonnie's anxiety worsen.
