Tina Monologue
Tina- I hate school and everyone in it. I don’t understand why I have to go to school until I am 16. Even my mother knows I am wasting my time there.
Counselor- What makes you dis-like school and hate everyone?
Tina- I just do. Everyone picks on me and bullies me. I don’t fit in. No one cares what happens to me.
Counselor- Well what makes think you don’t fit in?
Tina- I don’t get along with anyone. I think the kids don’t like me because I am fat.
Counselor- So that’s why you don’t think you fit in with your peers.
Tina- SILENCE
Yeah, I am always late, I am in trouble all the time, and dumb. (Sigh) I am overweight and so is my family. It’s really embarrassing cuz (because) they don’t care about anything, especially me. …show more content…
Have you talked to your mom about how you feel about school?
Tina- No. Not really.
Counselor- Maybe you can sit down and talk to her about your grade and how you feel.
Tina- Why should I talk to her about school and what I feel when she doesn’t even show up for parent teacher meetings?
Counselor- Has she told you why she does not go to the meetings.
Tina- Yeah, she told me she is too ill to go and I am just fine at home.
Counselor- Would you like to do better in school and go on to the 8th grade.
Tina- No, I give up with school.
Counselor- What would you do if you dropped out? How would you get a job?
Tina- I do not know. I would become a hair dresser; you don’t need school for that.
Counselor- Is that what you want to do?
Tina- Yeah, I like doing
