Lily is starting to feel it - big time! From parents continuing to impose rules she no longer wants to follow, to the school security officer making up rules because she doesn't like Lily's "attitude", to true discrimination from teachers, Lily is surrounded with things she's not liking. And she's willing to fight for it, well, not fight really. More like use passive resistance and stubbornness to get her way. The problem is that her bad attitude about it really is visible to everyone, especially all the teachers. Lily's reputation is at stake. It may be time to decide between a good reputation and fairness. | Extra Notes: | Lily is about to learn a little about growing up. She may want to model herself after Martin Luther King Jr. but she's got a long ways to go before she can do that. She's just making enemies and losing the respect of her teachers rather than making a difference. Just because she no longer wants to follow the rules adults impose on her, doesn't mean she doesn't have to do so. She may be desiring independence but all the passive resistance in the world isn't going to get it the way respect and obedience will. | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 5 |
