But Jackson's like most teenagers. He's affected by little things, and although his character hides it, he's sensitive. Flimsy. On top of it, he's adopted. It's different for every adopted child, but it obviously affects Jackson a lot. How would you feel looking at your 'parents' and not seeing any of yourself in them? Jackson doesn't remember a thing about his biological parents. Not their personalities, their voices, their facial features. It makes him feel alone. That's obvious too. Sure, he's got friends, but have you ever noticed how much he cries? How touchy he gets? He doesn't feel like those 'friends' are true friends who actually like him. And you have to have felt lonely and unwanted at some point. Everyone's felt that way. But Jackson constantly feels that way. So maybe he wanted to see Isaac struggle so that he knew he wasn't the only one. It wasn't right of him not to tell, that's for sure, but going through all of that, and really thinking about it, would it have made sense for Jackson to tell? Nope. Seeing Isaac the way he was made Jackson feel better about himself. Wrong but true.
