I believe that Holden is a very switch sides type of person, on one side he has everything in control and he know everything he wants to do, like leaving when he wanted to, calling up the Lady that his friend gave her number too. He has a sense of power even thought you cant see it sometimes. and that's when the other side shows up, the scared and powerless mind of hurt, where this little boy is crying out for someone, something to help him and no one is there for him, either because he wont let anyone in or because no one wants to.
I also think that this could just be from the age he is at, being a teenager out in some high class school, were no one really is your friend, no one really cares to call you by your first name and being cramped with homework, i think Holden just couldn't take the life of a teenager so that's were he wanted to break free and be an adult.

I agree with the comment you said, "where this little boy is crying out for someone, something to help him and no one is there for him." I think that happens to a lot of teenagers today, when they have a bad day, when they do not have to many friends, or when they do not perform up to their standards in school or sports. People want to put all of their troubles on others but can not do that at all. You must go through them by yourself and with a good attitude.
