Nobody will ever get used to abuse. The audience feels sorrow for Lily at this point. She has been dealing with abuse for about 8 years. They feel anger towards T. Ray because Lily is an innocent young girl trying to find answers about her mother. Lily still feels quite

Your work changed my view of self by realizing that I don’t have a bad life. Growing up, my parents would always fight, drank a lot, my dad was rarely home, my mom was unhappy, and I never really felt like I had an actual family. I witnessed a lot of bad things that happened between my parents when they fought and is something I’d never wish upon anyone. My parents got divorced when i was 9, which I took very hard because I had to live with my mom by court and I missed my dad a lot.

This was symbolic to the narrator’s confinement within her own home by her husband. She clearly told John that this room is not good for her but he never listened. Due to this reason, the narrator does not feel like sharing the things that trouble her. Her condition was getting worse by the passing with

To begin, the lack of financial stability in the Walls family has always been problematic, however as the mother of her children, Rose Mary never contributed much to the family income due to her stubbornness and free-spirited nature. A prime example of Rose Mary not providing for her family is a constant lack of food in the house. The children’s hunger is apparent when Jeannette says, “We did eat less. Once we lost our credit at the commissary, we quickly ran out of food. Sometimes Dad’s odd jobs would come through, or he’d win some money gambling, and we’d eat for a few days.

I told myself that I wasn’t going to allow the absence of my father prevent me from getting father in life. Many always thought that I was just this angry little girl, but they never sat down and asked me why I felt so angry inside. Not having that male role model in a child’s life can lead them down the road to destruction. The strength that I have gained was to take the pain and use it as a lesson in life. I’ve came to reality that his actions did not have to direct

¨If we could´nt feel hate how would we know what love is¨, this is a quote I found interesting, it made me wonder what it would be like if there was only love, most of our worlds history would change because lets face it almost all of our history is war and

I fell into depression when I was 13 years old. No one knew. I laughed at jokes and smiled at classmates, all the while feeling a hollow sadness that did not go away. I cried myself to sleep for apparently no reasons other than that sadness I felt. And I hated myself for crying for no reason.

Growing up I used to dread going to work out with my dad it was one of the worst things ever. He used to have me doing different drills. Running countless laps over and today. Basketball Time we used to go I would end up crying sooner or later it was never a time we did not go where I didn 't. I used to cry because I would think the stuff was too hard. Which it would be.but me being a kid.

I didn 't care about my early years of high school; My grades were poor and my mind was too focused on trying to forget the struggles of life. After sophomore year of high school, I began to think and acknowledge all of the issues I’ve experienced throughout my life. I thought to myself that I could never achieve true happiness if I continued to run away and hide from the reality of

(Gilman, 649) With the time goes by, she even fantasies out of a woman hiding behind the wall. Moreover, her lonely life is also one of the factors causing madness, whenever she wants to meet her families and friends, her husband repeatedly rejected her requests: “It is so discouraging not to have any advice and companionship about my work. […] to let me have those stimulating people about now.” (Gilman, 649)

Before coming to Job Corps, I had days when I was so depressed, I just stop doing what was right and from that point on, the street was the only I saw myself. The family was my enemy, friends were no longer there, at least the ones I thought I had. I didn’t want to talk to anyone because I had nothing positive to say. I can honestly say my biggest mistake I made as youngster, was me giving up on school. I could have cared less about all the wrong I have done.

Claudia, who had a lot of emotional support from her family didn’t show any signs of less-than-good mental health. Holden, however, wasn’t always supported enough and as a result, his mental health was not very good, he got the help he needed. Pecola was in a very unfortunate situation, she was neglected totally by her parents, she was raped and impregnated by her father at a very young age and lost the baby, which caused her to be extremely mentally unstable and no one ever really tried to help her. This is proof that children need support to have decent mental

I told her that I dreaded another season of stress that soccer brings when I go on those fields, and while I appreciated all her support, I was burnt out from playing for eight consecutive years. Once I was done my shoulders became lighter and a wave of relief passed over me. I could breathe again. There was no time to celebrate just yet because our battle was not yet over. My mother, in turn, responded with a lecture for the ages about how I was ruining my life.

She didn’t know what to do. “And I suddenly had such a vivid flashback that I completely lost my train of thought.” She talked about a childhood experience with her brother Matt. I think she was trying to get the student into learning, but that got the student feel boring instead. The entire lesson, she couldn’t build connections with her students.

Her friends from previous years all ignored her for what had transpired at the party. She felt no one cared so her depression became more serious. All that they did hurt her and socially scarred
