The incident that caused Greg to lose popularity was a stomach virus that led to an embarrassing accident in class, resulting in ridicule from peers.
Greg, originally a well-liked kid, became ostracized after a humiliating incident where he soiled himself, leaving him isolated and emotionally devastated.
Despite having many friends previously, Greg's unfortunate circumstances quickly changed the perception of him, illustrating how fragile social standing can be in middle school.
What struck me was how a single event can shift the dynamics of friendship and popularity so drastically in a school environment, and the cruelness of teenagers.
