I personally think that he could have have dealt with this situation better, not just go and end his life. I know that he was going through a tough time but I feel like he could have just had a meeting with his parents or a counselor to talk about his stress. I think he should have just went and talked to his mom about what he was going through. But instead, Tyler was overwhelmed with stress so he wrote a suicide letter. Then he ran up into his dads room to get his gun. Thankfully he just didn't have it in him to pull the trigger. Also he tried to jump off a roof but again he didn't have it in him again. Tyler instead goes out with his friend Yoda, and they go to the batting cage to hit baseballs. He takes out all of his anger on each baseball he hits. This is how Tyler's friend Yoda helped him when he needed it.
This is how Tyler deals with alot of his situations and how he learns from his mistakes. Tyler was just an ordinary high schooler until he became popular. As you can see Tyler becoming popular didnt really turn out all that well. I think that Tyler learned the lesson to not take being popular for granite. He thought that since he was popular he could start to mess with Chips friends and he could yell at his parents more and skip family dinners. As you know, this did not turn out good for Tyler and he paid the price of being blamed for a lot of things and not having a good family
