If I was a Jury imagining Melinda's sexual assault, I could safely assume that it was false. Not because I didn't want to believe her, but because there was not enough evidence to support her claim. I would also believe that Melinda has some sort of PTSD. #tollgvms
Mr. Freeman and Melinda are parallel because of the fact that both of them have been dealing with emotional problems, but also because they both have personal issues they have to deal with, however because their pain is different, they are only similar. #tollgvms
Melinda's parents should not have neglected Melinda's self-harm after seeing it. They could have asked her why she was doing it, or at least thought about why this was happening to her. #tollgvms
#tollgvms I feel like parents should tell their children about their marital problems because of the fact that if they did, the children would feel more connected to their parents and be able to talk to them more openly.
I feel like America should keep the borders open, because of the fact that most people who come to America have hopes and dreams that reside in living in the United States. #tollgvms
Maya Angelou was a famous woman who had gotten molested when she was little. Because Melinda can relate to her, she has a poster of her that covers her mirror, because of the fact that she feels like Maya is like who she is, but she still cannot bear to look at herself. #tollgvms
@LukeGor90505584 A8 You did a good job explaining how Melinda was struggling. Why did you say that the reason people don't say anything is because they don''t know them even though Melinda's friends do know her but just don't care? But overall you you did a really good job.
A8 Melinda is struggling because she acts like she does not care, causes self harm, and she feels disconnected from the world. usually tend to miss these signs because of the fact they usually are to self centered or their friends try to hide their signs of depression. #tollgvms
@LukeGor90505584 A7 You did a good job relating what happened to Melinda and the girl's parents. In real life when these things happen people often feel alone so you did a good job explaining.
A7 Melinda struggles to get past her rape. it relates to this line from a song: "You're lonely I feel this And you wish you were the best" It relates to this song is because Melinda is lonely and wished she had more friends. #tollgvms
@Michael99954736 A6 You explained why Melinda might not be wanting to say anything, but you could have included a little more. Why did you come to the conclusion that Melinda would believe that Andy evans would hurt her more?
A6 I feel like she chose to stay silent is because she decided that people would still not care, or people would just look at it as an excuse to get out of being hated because of what she did at the party. #tollgvms
@WillML13 @mstollgvms A5 You did a good job explaining why Rachel and Melinda are not friends anymore, and most times in real life people leave their unpopular friends to hang out with the popular kids.
@Michael99954736 Good job, but maybe next time you could include a little more. In terms of real life you are right, friendships change usually depending on certain tastes.
A5 Rachelle and Melinda changed and ended because of the fact that not only they have grown up and matured but they now like and dislike different things. #tollgvms
@Ejbubbarules01 @mstollgvms @WillML13 You did a good job explaining her self harm, but you did not include why she does self harm. You could have stated that she had been emotionally traumatized and she inflicts physical pain to make it go away.
@MasonMFSUSD @mstollgvms You did a good job explaining why she commits self-harm. You did a really good job, and you also did a good job by using a sort of symbolic term of "being anchored to the present" so she does not think about the past.
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
