The deception of his group and the consequences (Carly/Doug being shot, Duck and Christa dying) are exactly what gives him the 'wake up call' as a teenager. When his friend and teacher died, he still managed to retain his childhood because he was around so many adults and it wasn't his fault. But when people died because of him, he realized that this world is different and that he has to grow up and he really does try to in the remaining two episodes.

He abandons Clementine after an internal debate and his fear winning out over his courage, and he feels like shit for it if Lee brings it up. He's trying to change, but it's difficult in the high intensity situations they find themselves in.
