Feeling that she needed to socialise, Cady’s parents enrolled her to North Shore High school. On her first day of North Shore High school, Cady was often left out and she was unfamiliarised with the school’s surroundings and people. On the second day, Cady had become friends with two social outcasts, Janis Ian and Damian. Janis and Damian had misled Cady into thinking that they were taking to G14 for her Health Education class but instead, they brought her to the back of the school where they skipped class. This is where Janis had stated that they were friends and Cady stayed with them.
Soon she realized she couldn’t share any of these stories with her husband though, because he told her “not to give way to fancy…” since she had quite a habit of story-making and a “nervous weakness” like hers may lead to other “fancies.” (Gilman 293) That can be viewed as an attempt to stifle her creativeness. It’s almost as if he wants to make her believe she really is crazy. In his mind, all she is doing is imagining things. It also seems as if he wants to completely control her. So far, he does.
Hannah begs you to keep this confidential and not tell anyone especially her daughter, who she sees regularly, as her daughter will be very angry. Bi) How would you explain the term ‘confidentiality’ to Hannah? I would explain to Hannah that I do respect her wish to keep this information ‘confidential’, however due to the nature of the information she has divulged, I would have to inform management as she is putting herself at risk by throwing her medication away. This is not following her careplans and the medication has been prescribed to her for a reason and due to her regularly becoming ‘confused’ we cannot be sure that she is fully aware on what the medication is for. I would explain that we can keep certain things confidential such as opinions and beliefs but if information effects their received care or personal wellbeing/health then I have a duty of care to act upon this but only on a ‘needs to know’ basis.
“Bullying is a big problem that effects millions of students, and it has everyone worried, not just the kids on it’s receiving end” (Lyness 1). Bullying does not just affect kids, but the parents too. It affects the parents because a lot of their children begin to be afraid attending school.

Mean Girls is sending a message to say take responsibility for your before it gets worse. In Mean Girls Cady acts like an innocent bystander and doesn’t own up to anything she has done. When she keeps ditching her real friends Janice and Damian and then denies doing it. When Cady was at Regina’s house and writing stuff in the burn book and talking about people behind their backs and says “ I know it may seem like I’ve become a bitch, but that’s only because I was acting like a bitch” She was in denial of doing anything wrong and she was just acting. In the office after the ‘burn book’ was spread across the school Cady denied she had taken any part in it, But after all the denying and lying everyone saw her for the backstabber she is and Janice saw us way before everyone.
Melinda does not even like her but it the only girl that doesn’t know about the party. She wouldn’t lose her friends if she just told the truth. Most of all is that Melinda is hurting herself. “Its easier not to say anything…no body really wants to hear what you have to say”(9). Because of this she is slowly rotting away.
Esme deals with a student’s parent. This is one thing that has always worried me about my teaching career. While Esme took the library away because something had been stolen, the parent felt insulted that the teacher did not trust her child. An author is going to the school; she is also African American. This is good, as the school is almost completely all black.
An example of my experience of negative reinforcement is simple. When I was in elementary school, we were one of the few schools that the disciplinary counselor gave beatings to the students when the behavior was poor. The counselor used a large wooden paddle that had holes in it (and I believe that the holes were help the paddle gain speed). Allow me to paint a picture for my readers as to this setting. The cafeteria was large enough to house half the school, since there was only “lunch one” and “lunch two.” The counselor would wait until the student’s lunch time and walk the child onto the stage, which was located in the front of the cafeteria.
