Um, maybe, I'm interrupting but, I would like to say about Piper and her dad, The fact that she steals to get her father's attention is just, sorry, but is shallow and stupid in my opinion. Yes, her father Tristan has faults too. I never said about he is completely fair. But in Piper's case, her actions and thoughts are not just extreme, It's also kind of unrealistic, as I do not know anyone who would steal to get attention... that's just plain stupid. It would be more realistic if, for example;

she gets her father's attention by doing positive things... getting good grades, joining contests, or singing, which she is good at it and etc. etc. or she could've draw, she could've making art just like Rachel. If she had done any of this things, yes, I would respect Piper a little more. Or her dad would respect and started to care her about problems a little bit more, finally. Respect and attention can't be achieved so easily, you should try to earn it. And Piper... she did something not respectful and a wrong thing, so, it's not so illogical that I found funny and pitiful her mostly actions and thoughts and her mentality, in that case.

Another example, If she is a poor orphan like Leo. it would make sense that she would steal because she thinks it's the only way to survive. But her intentions stealing car because of I want attention from my dad kind of mentality is wrong. There are tons of things she could've done, but being a kleptomaniac? No. Her father doesn't time for her, you say it's not enough if they goes picnics or he is singing songs for Piper... fine. But, about but Piper has no one thing, I would tell you something, Rachel, at least, tried to making friends, because she knew that whining over something like just sitting here doesn't solve anything or can't fix anything. So, she chose to make art, she thought So, my father doesn't care me, he doesn't respect me, But, I will try hard to take respect from my dad, he will see, I will do it.

And, In the end, her father respects her, finally. Because Rachel made effort, she tried rather than whining just like sitting here and goes and stealing cars or something. And in the end, she took what she wanted, which is the respect  and attention from her father. Do you understand what I'm saying here?
