Answer and Explanation:

1. Trevor's mother uses humor to face the difficult situation they live in, both economically, socially and politically. This supports Trevor through difficult times without seeing situations with negativity, but with irony, with jokes and with good humor. This is a challenge, but it helps them to face the way they live lighter and less sadly.

2. As humor was very present in Trevor's life, he realized that this would be the career he should follow to change his and his mother's life. So he decided to be a comedian.

3. Using humor to overcome a challenging situation is very difficult, because these situations tend to motivate the worst within us and humor is not a bad thing. However, I tried to make some jokes when my parents were breaking up and I was seeing my life as something terrible and with no future, it worked sometimes, but it was difficult.
