7. Dear Jenna,
Listen, I know High School can be tough at times, and yeah your
grades aren’t exactly the “Best”, but don’t give up now! At this
point you’re probably thinking, what’s this psychopath talking
about.. Well, I heard you were dropping out, and I just cant stand
to think about how school is going to be without you, and what your
life would become without a proper, basic HS education. The
economy is really bad at the moment and even college graduates
aren’t getting the jobs that they’d hoped for, so what makes you
think you’re going to get a good job huh? How are you going to
support yourself when your parents are gone? No ones going
to want someone who hasn’t even finished High School!
Think of your future! think of how successful you could be and
how much knowledge you’d be missing out on! You don’t
want to be known as the girl who dropped out of High School and
got pregnant do you? Don’t be “that girl” just because you couldn’t
pull it together your junior year! You only have one more year to
go, come on! You’re better than that. I believe in you. But you
have to trust me. Listen to me, and I promise it will make a big
difference in your life. Get educated! I know you can do it. Make
me proud.
Your friend, Florence
