At the beggining of Enders Game Ender (Andrew Wiggin) lives at home with his brother (Peter Wiggin), sister (Valentine Wiggin) and his parents. From left, Peter, Valentine and Ender Wiggin

He is constantly bullied by everyone excluding Valentine, who loves him, and his parents (who don't particularly like him either, but you can't really bully your own son) because he is a Third (it is considered bad to have more than two children, probably due to an overcrowded Earth) and because he had his 'moniter' on much longer than normal. His brother Peter hates him especially, which isn't good, because Peter is a natural-born killer. Peter forces his brother to play a game called 'Buggers (buggers are a kind of alien all humans hate) and Humans'. Peter is always the human and he always wins, leaving Ender terrified.

One day Ender gets into a fight with a bully at school, and Ender accidently kills him. However Ender wasn't told that the boy died after the fight. Later that day a man wearing an I.F (these people train kids to become commanders to fight the buggers) suit knocks at their door. Peter thinks they have come for him and is overjoyed, but the man has come for Ender. The man takes Ender to be trained. That is last Ender ever saw of home.
