Getting More Deep Thoughts

Summary of this week's chapters

On this week's reading I learned and read about when girls want to fit into society (the popular group). The first story was about a girl that didn't fit on her school cliques. She was once invited to a dance and she thought this was very rare. When she entered the party, a girl started to insult her and she felt so bad she started crying and called her mom to pick her up. The next day a girl told her to like kill herself, at the beginning she thought she was kidding so she laughed but then she realized she was not kidding and she burst in tears. She later started to feel really insecure about herself making her get really sick. At the end, she did found true friends and now she is good and is so grateful for her friends. The other story was about an Asian girl. She first got really hated for a girl called Karen but then she solved things with Karen. Later she found a group of friends she spent over summer and they really liked her until they got to class again and ignored her and threw her out of her group. She considered again suicide until she also made the bully feel bad and then she realized that it was not ok. She then changed from school and was happy again.
Hypocrite people just make me feel like....

Important quotes

"And I will never try to become another person again" (Simmons 175).

This quote is important because it shows a super important message. It teaches us that after a big struggle like the ones these girls are going through, they learned that they should always be their selves. But this shouldn't be just applied after something like this. This should be a lesson you should always apply and this is a message a lot of teenage girls need. 

"I am awed by their courageous self-respect in the face of seemingly endless sorrow" (Simmons 160).

I really like a lot how this author talks about this girls. The author acknowledges her courageous and I really like that. I think it doesn't only makes the author of the stories feel good, but it also makes the one reading feel good. 

Final Thoughts

I think these chapters were the chapters more intense from the book. In this section you could really get to see things like suicide and that is not a very slight thing. This section of the book also was the one that made me think the most about bullying. I also think we got deeper in the feelings of these authors. There is only one section more left on the book, I hope is really great!
