AGNOSTIC: Jackson's parents were Christian and he regularly went to church with them. But after the passing of his father and the falling out with his mother God just seemed like a cruel being. So he doesn't want to believe any God would allow such things to happen, but he doesn't dis-believe in God either.

Jackson is currently a junior in high school.

Jackson has gone through a lot in his childhood. His father, whom he looked up to with great fondness, died horribly when him and his father were out one day celebrating his birthday and their car crashed. Jackson escaped with few minor injuries. After discovering the the news, his mother, whom he never really had the best relationship with, was devastated. She constantly blamed her son for his father's death and Jackson, being only a child, believed it. He thought that maybe if he hadn't insisted on getting ice-cream that night his father would probably still be alive, and his mother wouldn't hate him so much. Jackson had to deal with his mother's degrading for five months before his aunt from his mother's side decided it would be best if he lived with her. Living with his aunt proved to be a good choice for him: where he seemed to be failing every class at his old school, he began making B's and a few A's; he found it easier to talk to his peers although he couldn't really make a true friend, and his aunt scheduled his therapy sessions that helped him grieve his lost companion. But when he turned fourteen, his aunt had to leave the country for work related reasons and would be away for some years which meant Jackson had to return to living with his mother. Living with his mother again was an easier ride than before, but it would obviously be a while before he and his mother could actually bond together. Not only that, but there was a new addition to the family: his mother had adopted a little girl.

If Jackson was asked to rate his self confidence on a scale of one to ten, he would probably say: "Mmm...maybe a seven?" Jackson is fairly sure of himself, but oftentimes find that he has some doubts about his capabilities.
