Things That Bounce- Balls, Friendships...



  1. Does Miranda bounce back at all from her hurt about Sal?
  2. The girls at school are quite expert at being unkind to each other. Is this usual for twelve-year-olds?
  3. What causes this nastiness?
  4. If you had to describe Julia as person (not just what you think she looks like) what words and phrases would you use? 
Remember be appropriate with your feelings and words; don't use real names of people in your examples. 


Do all your answers in complete sentence answers  in Microsoft Word and check it with WORD TALK.  Use all your COPS skills and include as many dressups as you need to make your answers as interesting to read and as descriptive as possible.

  1. Yes Miranda does bounce back from her hurt about Sal.
    The girls being experts about being unkind to each other is usual for 12-year-olds.
    The way they’re treated causes this nastiness.
    Attentions seeking, jealous, afraid, and mean are the words and phrases I would use to describe Julia.

  2. Yes, Miranda does bounce back from her hurt about Sal. Most 12 year olds are unkind. With girls some are jealous of the other girl or they like the same guy, or their family life is not good. Jealous and unkind.

  3. Yes, Mirada does bounce back on her hurt about Sal.
    Yes, it’s usual for 12 year olds to be unkind because they’re going through puberty.
    Boys are the one that are causing the nattiness because the probably both like a same guy.
    Jealous, unkind, thinks she’s the best and intimating.

    1. Are boys causing the nastiness? Is anyone else at fault or responsible for the way another person chooses to act?

  4. Yes. Miranda does bounce back on her hurt about Sal.
    Yes. It is usual for twelve year olds to be unkind, because they are going through puberty.
    Boys are causing this nastiness, because two girls probably like the same guy and another two girls and so on.
    Jealous, unkind and thinks she’s the better than everyone.

  6. I do think that she bounced back because of Sal. I think that with those girls it is quite normal to be unkind, but not talking to the person for a few weeks can go a little too far. I think that what causes that nastiness is with all the changes of going through that grade and being the fact that Julia sounds sort of like a snob I think that Julia must of caused a lot of the drama and then other girls might of started following Julia and because she was being mean to other girls those girls decided well if she is doing that then we can to! And I also think that it is just a stage that all girls go through some point in their life. I think that Julia is mean, nice sometimes, rude, friends to only certain people and just mean.-jaden

  7. Miranda does bounce back from all her hurt from Sal. Yeah I think that it’s common for girls to be unkind to their friends when they are about twelve because they are going through puberty. I think what’s causing this nastiness is them trying to one up each other. How I’d describe Julia is up tight, jealous of everything and self indulgent.

  8. Yes, Miranda does bounce back after what happened to sal.
    I don’t think it is that usual but I think it must happen sometimes.
    The cause of the nastiness can be anything like who’s more popular.
    I would describe Julia as selfish, jealous, unkind and thinks she’s better than everyone else.

  9. Yes. Miranda does bounce back on her hurt about Sal. I think some of the 12 year old girls are kind of rude too each other because maybe that’s just there personality. I think Julia causes all the nastiness. I think she is a nasty person. The words I would use to describe Julia are mean, selfish, a bit rude, and maybe a little full of herself.

  10. Yes Miranda dose bounce back from hurt about Sal.
    The girls are being unkind to each other because they could be going through Puberty.
    Boys are causing nastiness because, girls like boys and they all the girls get jealous so they all are unkind to each other. Jealous, selfish, rude and she thinks she is the queen of all the girls.

    1. Are boys actually causing the nastiness? Are they responsible for the girl's actions?

  11. Yes Miranda does bounce back from the hurt about Sal.
    I don’t think twelve year old girls should be unkind to each other.
    I think it is when the girls get all tired and grumpy so there are very mean to each other.
    She thinks that she is better then everyone and she is so mean and jealous and just weird.

  12. 1. Miranda does not really bounce back from her hurt about Sal.
    2. People can be unkind to each other sometimes but I do not think that is usual for 12 year olds.
    3. The nastiness is caused by Julia who always wants her way.
    4. I think Julia is a bit lonely and she tries to hide it by acting smart.

  13. 1.Miranda bounces back but still has some hurt.
    2.Yes, that is normal for twelve year olds.
    3.I think jealousy and hurt is a big part of it. I think sometimes there’s also people who just cause drama or who think they are better than everyone else which causes problems.
    4.I think Julia is unkind and maybe a little lonely.
