    Sarah is in a catch 22 here. She studies hard because she is struggling in subjects like History and wants to make sure she graduates. Because of that, the sheeple think she is a snob. However, if she did join the "gang" in their little parties instead of studying I bet you her grades would plummet and the sheeple would be saying she is a dunce instead.
    Doesn't really matter anyway. If you were a girl in that time period, your expectations were to get out of high school and find a man to take care of you. If you wanted to go to college, Home Economics was the major for you. Thank God I live in this time period. I would have killed myself ages ago if I wasn't!

      AnnoyingSquib Back then, even working out of the home with a traditionally feminine job like teaching, nursing, or being a secretary was unusual. My grandma was a teacher, and in the 60's, my dad and aunt were pretty much the only kids they knew whose mom worked outside the home.
      My other grandma was an office worker then too, and while my mom knew other kids whose moms worked, it was still strange.

    Her parents should've just encouraged her to go to social events that relate to her interests. She'd be more likely to feel comfortable, like the people there, make friends, and improve her confidence and social skills. Then she probably wouldn't have gotten so defensive at that party because she would know how to handle social situations better. Baptism by fire is a terrible way to try to help someone with their social skills.

  • @VenusMy129
    @VenusMy129 7 років тому +57

    This is a sad story: A young girl suffers from anxiety, low self-esteem and studying is a way for her to feel in control. She buries herself in books to find something to do but is also hurting herself. She is afraid of going to the party and that no one will like her. So she lashes out as a defence mechanism: if she attacks first, they cant hurt her. Only at the end does she crumble when she realizes that the image her class has of her is wrong: she is not above them, she feels worthless.

      Hey say what you want about the social flaws of that era but they are most definitely not the worst decade for music. The 1950’s has early rock music under its belt and was nowhere near as lame as people think it was. The lame rock we associate with the 50’s are actually from the early 60’s. If anything the 40’a were way worse. This was a decade where a Christmas novelty song, “All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth” was a number 1 hit for 2 weeks... In January! The major reason we don’t even remember 40’s music is because of WW2 but partially because it was really lame!
