Little Billy- Perspectives Q

Read the prompt and answer the following questions. It's not enough to answer a question by merely listing facts. You should present a cogent argument based on your critical analysis of the questions posed using appropriate psychological terminology.
Billy's the third child of loving but busy parents. Growing up, he thought his parents favored his siblings. When he was 4, his parents divorced, and he stayed with his dad. His siblings and mom moved far away. Billy rarely saw them. Feeling inadequate in raising his son alone, Billy's dad provided him with costly toys and frequent trips to amusement parks. As Billy grew older and attended school, he had trouble focusing and went to a doctor to be assessed. Billy's evaluation showed symptoms of ADHD, but his dad dismissed the diagnosis. Because of his difficulties in school, Billy had trouble making friends and was ridiculed by his classmate. This lowered his self-confidence. By the time Billy was a teen, he had difficulty forming lasting relationships despite his expertise in athletics. He was capable of high academic achievement, but his grades were below average. Teacher reports frequently cited his excessive need for attention. Personally, he felt lost and doomed to fail.
