A bad childhood is a terrible thing, and will always be a terrible that can happen to any child, and bringing in the fact that Hazel and the others had a worse childhood wouldn't make Piper's any better!

She was brought up with a dad who was always busy at work and barely paid attention to her, and you know what the result of that can be. She became selfish. She whined. She wanted attention from her dad, that's all she wanted. An ignorant parent(look, I'm not completely putting the blame on Tristan McLean, an actor's job is tough and very busy) can end up with an ignorant child. She "borrowed" those BMWs without realizing what she was doing. She was sent to the Wilderness School for that.

Look, at the end of the day, Piper is still a very flawed character. Her obsession with Jason is still wrong, I guess. I'm just saying that you can't blame her completely for her actions. And she's also improving as a character, so…

heh sorry for the rant guys They always use she's improving as an excuse. I know she's improving which kind of is why I don't hate her as much as others do here. But hey, none of these things give her a reason to complain. Piper got everything she wanted and was very rich so if you are going to use that as an excuse, most characters in Rick's books should all be whiny. And Piper being whiny still is very bad. You know, I go to a whole room of whiny people everyday for surgical training and it isn't pleasant at all. I can put up with it but it is very annoying. Also, Piper's childhood isn't bad at all. By those standards, most people all have a very bad childhood. And what has Piper been through compared to other characters in Rick's books? Not very much. And still, the majority of characters in Rick's books are not whiny at all. On the other hand, don't get me wrong, I don't like Piper but I'm going to defend her a bit. Halo, Piper getting obsessed with Jason isn't that bad especially when Percy is obsessed with Annabeth and Annabeth is obsessed with Percy and yet, they are among some of the favorite characters. Not saying I dislike Annabeth or Percy, just saying that blaming Piper for just being obsessed with Jason is a bit too much. Not saying it is ok to be obsessed with others, just saying that we can't blame Piper that much for being obsessed with Jason. Also, we probably can blame Jason a bit too.
