A central idea in Blood Is Thicker is that...

• talking openly is a good way to deal with serious family problems.

• parents always have the best judgment about their kids.

• teenagers are at fault for nearly all family problems.

• most teenagers do not care what their parents think of them.

One lesson that Savon’s and Hakeem’s parents learn at the end of this story is...

• a good way to help teens develop responsibility is to give them hard work.

• music and writing have little importance to most young people.

• the high expectations of parents can sometimes be unfair to children.

• parents should not assign strict curfews on their children.
