I do think that other characters in the novel added problems to Jimmy. For example, Victor, Maddo, Dog Breath always bullied Jimmy. Jimmy also has a talent that he don't want to let his mummy & Aunt Poi knows, it is within those food. Jimmy don't like football, and he couldn't swim, but GI joe simply think that Jimmy had swimmer's shoulder.
I think that the characters in the novel added to Jimmy's problems and issues . Victor , Maddo and others always bully him . The called him names and kept insulting him with those hurtful words . By knowing GI Joe is a priest or even father Joseph added problems to Jimmy too . He don't know how to treat him and he couldn't believe that his a priest as he is a different person when he is a coach . And he is not close to him . I think that Jimmy should not let others bully him and should have told his teachers .
I agree that the other character in the novel do add to jimmy's problems and issues.For istance, when jimmy's blazer is soaked, he was afraid to return home as his mother will be angry with him. This is when his mother add to his problem. This made the situation hard for him.

I think tht the other characters in the novel do add to Jimmy's problems and issues. Jimmy faces problems with his team mates who teases and bullies him because of his size. GI Joe turned out to be a priest which was rather contradicting because of the difference between the role of a coach and the role of a priest. All in all, Jimmy faces a fair share of problems and issues added by the other characters in the novel.

I do not agree that the other characters in the novel add to Jimmy's problems and issues.I agree that the others bully him but he could have solved the problem a long time ago if he had just stand up for himself.So I think that Jimmy is causing himself problems because of his low self esteem.
I think that other character in the novel added problems to jimmy's life.For Example,Victor Swift together with the other scoccer team member bullied Jimmy after the match.They also called him names like Smelly Kelly & Fat Boy Fat.Jimmy didn't know that Gi Joe,his football coach, is a priest. ~Jonathon~
I think that other charaters in the novel added problems to Jimmy. People at the swimming pool stared at him because he is fat and entering the pool. Four-year-old Victor said that Jimmy was a fatty and pitched Jimmy into the pool when the teacher's back was turned. Jimmy wanted to swim because he wanted to know who or what the Shadow shape was but he was unable to swim. All these were some of the many problems the other charaters added to Jimmy.

i think the other character added problems to Jimmy's life.For example, The socccer team bullied Jimmy after the match on chapter 2.And Knowing Gi Joe is a priest added problem to it.Jimmy didn't know how to face Gi Joe as he cannot be rude to a priest.

I think that other characters added to Jimmy’s problems. Most of Jimmy’s problems came form Victor at a young age of 4. I say this because as soon as the teacher turned his back in the pool, victor pitched Jimmy into the poolin chapter 5,page 32. Another character is Gi Joe. I say this because at chapter 4,page 24, Jimmy found out that Gi Joe was a priest and he cannot insult a priest.
I agree that the characters in the novel added to Jimmmy problem character like victor, dog breath and some others who always bully Jimmy. One of the evidence was in chapter 2 pg 9 Maddo poking him in the backside and it go boinggg. Another problem is that knowing GI Joe is a priest added to his problem as GI Joe think that Jimmy has the potential of being a swimmer.

I think that the characters in the novel adds Jimmy's problems and issues. Such as Maddo and the rest of Jimmy's soccer teammates including Maddo always bullies Jimmy. They insult him by calling names like boobsy. Jimmy realised that GI Joe was actually a priest but was also a coach. Jimmy should have defend himself from bullies.

GI Joe, the group of bullies and Aunt Pol adds to Jimmy's problems/issues. GI Joe keeps scolding Jimmy and keeps on "bullying' him, making him come on the field when the football match was ending. Aunt Pol also said that Jimmy was obese and big-sized. The bullies Victor, Bog breath and Maddo, kept bullying Jimmy and tease about his weight and size.

I agree that other of the character in the novel had added to Jimmy's problems and issue.In chapter 5 for example,Victor had bullied Jimmy.Victor blow a wet raspberry and pitched Jimmy into the pool.In chapter 4,GI Joe shook the plastic bag, staining with the wet weight of the blazer,in Jimmy's face.Jimmy blazer was soaked.Jimmy was very scared to go home as his mother will scold him.In chapter 1 Jimmy is called "oi boobsy.Move your fat butt!" by his classmate.It shows that Jimmy is fat.All these added to Jimmy's problems.

The other characters in the novel do add to Jimmy's problems and issues. Victor Swift,Maddo and Dog Breath are some of them. They are not tired of bullying Jimmy and made Jimmy irritated. Jimmy's father is also one of them. He was like isn't in Jimmy's life. And so,Jimmy didn't have a father figure to take care of him.
I think that the characters in the novel add to jimmy’s problems and issues. Jimmy is always bullied by his teammates in the football team. Another character which also adds to Jimmy’s problem is GI Joe who is also known as Father Joseph. Jimmy is afraid that he may tell others about his secret that he can actually cook very well.

Yes i think that other character in the novel added problems to Jimmy. For example Victor like to insult Jimmy example he blow a wet raspberry and pitched Jimmy into the pool.Maddo also bully jimmy by calling him name and insult his size.All this added to jimmmy problem.
I think that the other characters add problem to jimmy. like his team mates who kept bullying him and also GI joe, who know jimmy's secret about his talent in making tablets and cooking. which his mum dosen't know. GI joe thinks that jimmy had a swimmer's shoulder.

I agree that other characters in the novel adds to Jimmy's problem. For example, when his blazer got wet, he was afriad to go home because he was afraid of getting colded from his mother.Jimmy is also constantly being bulied by Victor, Maddo and Dog Breath which resulted in Jimmy being a loner and have a very low self-esteem.

I think the other characters in the novel really added to Jimmy's problem.Jimmy had problem with his family,his feelings,his thoughts and even his friends in school.He felt pressurized but although he cannot swim or play football,his family and Gi Joe will always believe in him.
I think that the other characters in the novel which is "fat boy swim" added problems and issues to Jimmy. Team mates, GI Joe who is a priest and also known as Father Joseph, Victor Swift, Maddo and Dog Breath.. All these people i listed all added problem to Jimmy.

I agree that the other characters in the novel added to Jimmy's problems and issues. Example like, GI Joe. He was known as a football coach at St. Jude but then he was known as a priest outside. This made Jimmy confused. Like Maddo McCormack,he called him "Oi,boobsy!".He hated it but eventhough he hated it he can't avoid it as others will still call him names too as he's fat. He always dream of a swimming pool every night but he can't figure the Shadow Shape in the horizon of the dream.He tried to ask Aunt Pol if she might knew it but he still dosn't know who that Shadow Shape really is.Overall, he faces alot of issues in between the story but in the end,some of his problems are solved.
