Parents should speak with their children about the issues their facing depending on the child's age and level of maturity. The issue the parents are facing can also factor in, when openly discussing their marital issues to their children. #tollgvms

America should have open boarders to welcome immigrants in order to help these individuals escape from their treacherous environments and guide them towards a better life here, in America.However, there should be a mandatory background check for people coming in. #tollgvms

Maya Angelou was added to speak because she shares similar life experiences as the main character Melinda. Amongst these similarities being rape and isolation. Maya Angelou is probably covering the mirror because she is a reflection of Melinda. #tollgvms

A8 Sometimes people miss times of struggle because sometimes people are focused on themselves instead of focusing on others and this can cause people to miss these signs of struggle. #tollGVMS https://t.co/X2IyJbftWl

A7 These are similar because Melinda says, "All this anger" (Anderson 29). Meaning that Melinda was angry and mad at the world, while Pink says,"I know your angry". She also states,"So many things I want to say." Much like Melinda when she was at the bleachers. #TollGVMS https://t.co/MegeRGoct7

@EmmaH61798582 A few grammar mistakes, Maybe talk about her parents and what they'll think. What do you mean by she thinks its her fault. There are many people who are scared to talk as well.

[Miles M. @ICUINDACUT]

A6 I think Melinda choose to silent because she felt that she couldn't tell anyone because she was ashamed about what happened. #TollGVMS https://t.co/kWdQIqoGYo

[Miles M. @ICUINDACUT]

A5 Some reasons their friendship ended was because of Melinda's actions at the party when she called the cops, this changed their relationship because Melinda was hated by the whole school; so her friends didn't want to be friends with someone that wasn't "Cool". #TollGVMS. https://t.co/CzQuB16wl5

Great job relating the struggles with her sexual assault. How does physical pain relate to emotional pain and how is does she control. https://t.co/habGb9b3GE

A4 In Louise Anderson's "Speak" Melinda struggles with her emotions after her sexual assault, and because of this she causes self-harm to reduce emotional pain by increasing physical pain. #tollgvms

[Miles M. @ICUINDACUT]

A4 Melinda inflicts pain on herself by biting her lips until they bleed. Self harm is a form of control because she inflicts physical pain to get rid of the emotional pain. #tollGVMS https://t.co/Eup7O2hpcU

A3 The coming of age for Melinda has been shown throughout the novel, for example, " I turn the mirror to face the wall" (Anderson 22). Meaning that she is going through a phase where she dosen't know who she is. #TollGvms https://t.co/q968s42Iuo

[Miles M. @ICUINDACUT]

A2 We make eye contact at the end of the hallway. I squeeze tighter against Aubrey. I remember the day of the dirty deed. However, I don't regret what I did. I smile at her and wink. Good thing were in public or else i'd run over there and dot it again. #tollGvms https://t.co/nUxkgT78eP

[Miles M. @ICUINDACUT]

@JarellC4 This is a very good response but try to include her hate for her teachers.

[Miles M. @ICUINDACUT]

@MaxYFsusd This is a very good response, but try including how bad her teachers are. What do you mean by the word disgust?

[Miles M. @ICUINDACUT]

A1 High school is so freaking horrible. #TollGVMS https://t.co/KDUumorHvA

I think grades are harmful because they put unwanted pressure on students and often times overwhelm them because of the heavy work load they may receive from teachers. Instead their should be test that evaluate how much their learned over the course of the year. #TollGVMS

"This closet is abandoned--it has no purpose, no name. It is the perfect place for me." Melinda says this because she feels as if she has no purpose nor name, therefore making the closet and her the same. #TollGVMS

One way Melinda is exhibiting depression is by biting her lip until it bleeds. Another way she exhibits depression is by not looking her self in the mirror. Lastly she exhibits depression by isolating herself and not speaking. #tollGVMS

@SharleenG6 Speaking out may not always be the right thing to do. It's better to listen and gather information from the opposing side, or educate yourself by listening to the people with on the same side. You then speak out and voice your opinions and emotions and educate others.#tollGVMS

[Miles M. @ICUINDACUT]

I think it is better to speak up and voice your opinion because communication is key, in order to live and do what you want in life. #tollGVMS
