Beautiful Boy Sparknotes

The autobiography Beautiful Boy is about a father going through his son’s life finding that he gets addicted to drugs. In the first two chapters of Beautiful Boy we learned about Nic as a young boy. I found that he was just a normal kid when he was growing up. He had parents that were divorced, but they both loved him. Nic would spend the school year with his dad and then he would stay with his mom during the holidays. Davis didn’t like that he would get to see Nic around Christmas and Thanksgiving. Nic started school and had trouble finding friends but then he found a good friend. They would always have play-dates and spend time together. They would love to play with each other at each others houses. David thought that Nic had found a good fit and would be fine in his life but he would turn out to be wrong.
What His dad (David Sheff) finds is a bag of marijuana. David Sheff grew up in a generation that embraced the use of drugs. So the good dad anticipated that his son Nic might have contact with drugs and might need some guidance along his life journey. He saw his son turn into a stranger. He saw it as just something that could be dealt with easily by counseling or, at the most, a period of a few weeks in standard rehab. Nic started out with marijuana then went to cocaine and then along the way he found meth. Which is one of if not the worst drug that a person could ever use/take into their body. Also, Nic did a lot of Rehab and it had zero effect on him. He would go for a month and then came back and started to use his drugs
