Melinda's School

Yes, I think that Melinda’s school can be a safer and better school if they address the school issues. If they did that and in force the school rules it would feel better then it use to and people will like the school even more. I guess you can say that the school isn’t so bad it’s ok but sometimes it gets out of hand and that’s not good for the kids that want to do well and be successful in life. If they had a better security kids wouldn’t be bringing drugs or alcohol or even getting into fights and that’s not a good thing to have in a school that is filled with nice students and teachers. My old school use to be like that. There would always be something bad going on like kids bringing drugs or people getting into fights, but now its better it’s safer to go to and have fun while you’re learning. If Melinda’s life would be better just if her school was better so that she won’t be scared to go to school and have to worry about some kids that go there that creep her out.

Speak

 The number one reason why she didn’t tell her parents what happen to her that night is because she was scared. She didn’t want them to freak out, if she told them that she went to a party instead of Heathers house. Her mom will be really mad and maybe she wouldn’t care much about her that night. The other reason why she didn’t tell them is because her parents were really tired and she didn’t want them to stress anymore since they’re all tired. They were all happy that day to, so probably Melinda didn’t want to get them all down and mad. If, Melinda told her parents that night things would probably be a little bit better then how they are right now. Her parents would be more trustworthy wit her and would let her do anything she wants and maybe she would be doing good in school so her parents wont give her crap about it. Melinda just needs to be more open and express her feelings a little bit better. If she did that she would be more, happy and will be making better friends and would trust them more then her old ones. She’s a good person to be with if you really get to know her.

I think the picture she drew was a good idea. It talks about her very much. Like the lightening hitting the tree, that shows that the tree has been hurt just like her she’s been hurt and ashamed and the only thing she can do is keep to her self just like a tree does. A tree doesn’t talk, she doesn’t really talk to. So a tree is a very good example for her to show how she feels. Just like a tree you need to take good care of it and like Melinda she needs good friends so that she can be her self around them. If she has friends they will help her out, that’s if they were really her friend and if they were she can be better and she can share her feelings with her friends. If people would understand where she’s coming from then they won’t hate her so much they would be trying to help her out, but since no one likes her they don’t want to understand her like other people do. A tree is a very good example of showing how she feels.
