Her only solution at this moment is to be alone. Bullying does not only happens to Melinda but other people. It was the day of the pep rally; Melinda was not so exited as her only friend Heather, she was scared someone gets next to her and claims her about what happened in the summer party, .and it happened, to girls got next to her and claim her about it. “The girl pokes me harder. “Aren’t you the one who called the cops at Kyle Rodger’s party at the end of the summer?” .
I was came across one old high school friend and asked them why I always have to be the one to find out how she’s doing. She gave me the same answer most people give “I’ve been busy.” I then wrote “I see why you don’t have that many friends left.” I acted as an ego buster because I made her feel bad about herself. I was aware that it would make her feel bad in some way but I never really paid attention to the fact that it would affect her ego in a negative way. Part 5 Ego boosters and Ego busters play a major role in shaping the self-concept. Humans learn who they are and how to act by feedback from the peer group and significant others.
We even moved her to Kevin’s table, of which he was supreme ruler, because we knew that she’d ogled him a few times and liked what she saw. To tell the truth I hated that table; either nobody except Rose and Beth talked to me, or they were distracted with Beth’s new boyfriend Matt. Lunch played out like
Scout is very upset and sad about her first day and tells Atticus that she does not want to return to school. “You never went to school and you do all right so I’ll just stay home too. You can teach me like Granddaddy taught you ‘n’ Uncle Jack.” (32). I can empathize with
This went on for around two weeks. The next Tuesday she finally asked me a question, “did we have homework?” she questioned me. I replied with a blunt “no.” We had had homework the night prior, but I did not want to converse with her. I acted this same way towards her until half way through the semester. Meagan starting to become good friends with one of my best friends, Erika.
She lost all her friends and has no one to talk to and share her feelings to, besides Heather. Heather is a girl who comes from Ohio and moved to Syracuse New York. She is a student from a different middle school and is unaware of the incident that just took place. Heather becomes her friend, but she soon backs off from being Melinda’s friend because she thinks that Melinda is the most depressed girl she ever met and she is not so cool so she goes and hangs out with the cool girls. Leaving, Melinda everyone turns there back on Melinda, but her lab partner who tells her and encourages her to speak up and not to remain silent.
Leigh was very sporty and athletic with green eyes and brown golden hair and always managed to maintain an A average in her studies on top of her busy sports schedule. Julia and Leigh were both on the year book committee and the school council together. Almost every single day in and after school they were together. They always stood beside each other and stood up for one another. In the hall one day Jamie Jadestone one of the most popular girls in school came over to Julia and tried to start trouble, but to bad Julia is a smart cookie and can get herself out of bad situations she just simply said “Get out of the way” and walked on and that was in between second and third hour time and Jamie was in Julia’s next class.
Like when Tara, Kristen and Keesha were looking at the magazines, Keesha didn’t understand why skin and bones were attractive to Kristen. Kessha also didn’t understand why Tara could never walk with her to or from school, Keesha just thought that her friends were weird until their conditions got out of hand and she got worried about them. *Donna’s influence on Tara was surprisingly good. Considering that Donna is more of a “wild child” and Tara is a “goody-good” I think they balance each other out. While Donna was smoking, stealing or having sex Tara was getting “lost in her mind”.
Let me tell you a little bit about Patty. She was a bright, outgoing, young woman who had intentions of going to Chapman University in the fall. Unfortunately, Patty struggled with an eating disorder since she was in middle school. She, like many, went to food to take away her stress. Earlier this year, Patty Desolatia tried to help her fellow classmates when she reported Kyle for having prescription drugs.
She said that she had enjoyed being at high school, because she loved learning, and she got to hang out with her friends a lot. I followed up on this question and asked whether she thought high school was challenging or not for her. Instead of answering quickly like she had before, she hung back and sat pondering the question. Her face had become abnormally tight and drawn, as if
