The Snake Pit: Jr. High Can Be Torture - Plot & Excerpts
High for 19 years. I had a bad feeling the minute I saw Cinda walk into my class. Lisa Kellen, especially, took an instant dislike to this girl and I couldn't figure out why. Cinda was sweet, soft-spoken, never a harsh word, never a bad attitude, but these girls were downright vicious. Sure, Cinda didn't look like everyone else, but she was hardly the monster these girls made her out to be. I tried to talk to Lisa about it. Lisa has about as much respect for the teachers at this school as she did for Cinda. Lisa is a beautiful girl, and the other girls naturally follow her, so I believe she thought, because of her popularity, that she had every right to treat people however she pleased. Unfortunately, she was right. Nobody stopped her. I sent notes home to her parents, requesting a conference. It was ignored. I sent another note home detailing my concerns about how their daughter's treatment of Cinda might be affecting her. Nothing. Finally, I went to Principal Martin.
