Lorraine does not have very good friends, and they influence her to do bad things. Her best friends John is very bad about lying, going far enough to sometimes believe his own fabrications. “I looked at John’s face and began to realize it was he who had started me telling all these prevarications,” (Zindel 25). Sometimes John’s dishonesty rubs off on Lorraine, causing her to fib with him. Because Lorraine does not have Positive Peer Influence, she may pick up bad traits as she becomes an

They say we’re too young to be apart of something that matters, of something that’s significant. We can’t possibly have problems that mean anything, or relationships that could last forever. Maybe they’re right, but when you’re in the eighth grade, it’s a little hard to see past all the middle school heartbreak and the people you live to impress. Sometimes we don’t want to admit that there’s more to life than just eighth grade; that there is more to life than the amazing friendships and the school we’ve grown to find serenity in this year. Whatever the reason is, we just don’t want to say goodbye to the memories we’ve made here.

He, being the most popular kid in school, had as many friends as you could count. But I, being now the most unpopular kid in school, had only the kids he had bullied. There was Jawn, my best friend since kinder, Jonty, who up until that point I had never been friends with, Darcy, who was much taller than me and hated him with a burning passion, and Bradley, who was like an undercover spy, spying on what they said about us. The battle continued, and I started doing horrible in school because I didn’t get much sleep, maybe 6-7 hours a night, but I still tried my best, because there were Jim Carrey movies I haven’t watched. But soon enough I was running out of Jim Carrey movies to watch. The depression started to take over. I started getting

You don’t know what I can do!” said Jenna back to her. She ran to her friend’s bunk, Jody didn’t want to make it a big complication out of it so she didn’t worry about it. She never got her bunk changed, but it didn’t matter because she would always sleep over her friends’ bunk. I wanted to relax this summer and was not going to let someone give me a hard time, so we never talked much. Two weeks were nearly over and our parents were going to come visit us in a day or two. I started to be nice to Jenna and she was nice to me, but I sensed that she didn’t want to be friends. She had a problem with my friend Lauren. At this time we were all ready to kill each other. I remember an argument that Jenna had with Lauren, they were yelling at each other and it only got worse by the second. I came up to them and started to hear what they were saying, since I was on lauren’s side, I yelled at Jenna “What is wrong with you!” “You can’t yell at me like that, you don’t know who I am!” said Jenna Then I said “I don’t care who you are” “I can make your life miserable" she said. At this point I was thinking to myself that this girl has major problems thinking she can do and say whatever she wants. I started to feel sorry for her. “I

The first year, the time to prove myself had arrived. Classes, rooms, teachers, and some students were unfamiliar. Eventually, minutes melted into hours, hours to days, and days to weeks. It didn’t take long before my schedule was routine, something of second nature. Humor and happiness were found in the form of my advisory family, where school was transformed into something more than going through the same motions of day to day activity. By the closing point of sixth grade, I was having a hard time letting go of what I’d adapted to. “What’s wrong?” my dad asked when I was getting into the car after being picked up early on the last day. I explained how distressed I was that my first year of middle school exceeded my expectations, and that it had to come to an end. Although his outlook viewed my reason for sorrow as trivial, I didn’t.
