why people ask about my past?

           Have you ever felt like you have nobody to talk to? well not for matt pin in the book all the broken pieces written by Ann e. burg. matt's past is horrible and so advanced for a child his age.  his father was in the Vietnam war but he was adopted by a caring adoptive family. Matt's parents wanted to protect him so he wouldn't get hurt so they gave him up for adoption. Matt never wants to talk about his past but people try to force him but he just doesn't budge.
