I enjoyed reading “Plaits,” by Frankie Lennon because it can teach us a lesson. I also liked how the author was very descriptive. It gave me a picture in my mind while reading the story. I was able to relate to how the author felt. I think as we grow up we all encounter problems that makes us take matters in our hands and end up making things worse for ourselves. This story reminds me of when I was in second grade there was a boy that made me cry. It makes me laugh every time I look back.
The boy who made me cry was very annoying and rude to everyone, he would always get in trouble and would made kids cry. When I was little I had a lot of baby hairs I hated them but it never bother me so much until this little boy made it obvious. I remember it was during recess we were playing handball and we were standing in line when he noticed my baby hairs he started making fun of me and pointing and laughing. Soon everyone started laughing then out of no where he decided it would be funny to pull on them. I started crying and ran to my teacher and told what he did to me. He was given detention for two days.
Even though he was unable to play that still didn’t give me any satisfaction I was hurt so I went home got some scissors and cut my baby hairs. I started crying even more because I looked horrible. My mom saw and got mad at me but she didn’t do anything to make it better, so she left me that way so I could learn my lesson. The kids made fun of me even more, so my mom finally cut bangs to cover them. So in a way I cooked my own goose.

I completely understand you during my childhood the kids in school will make fun me to. I was always the tallest girl in class during my elementary years. It did bother me lot and it hurt my feelings knowing i was taller than my friends even if it was by a few inches. However, as a I got older I stop growing and now theirs other teenagers taller than me. I feel much more confident knowing I am an average height for a girl.
