Girls Against Girls by Bonnie Burton
Critical Thinking Question- How does this book help you to
think about social issues you care about or causes you are committed to?
I’m reading Girls Against Girls by Bonnie Burton.
This book discusses many issues I am aware about. One problem that comes across
in the book is gossip. Gossip is an important issue I feel strongly about. Everyone
some point in life comes across gossip. Sometimes you might not even know its
considered gossip. For example, ‘I don’t like her shirt.’ This to you might
just be a comment or opinion, but is also really considered gossip. You have to
be careful about what you say. That's where ‘think before you speak’ comes in.
I think this book highlights gossip really well. Gossip is something that
sometimes just comes out of our big mouths.
I personally love that we are doing a reading response on a
question/s we come across everyday. On page 36, the author states “Gossiping
always seems like fun---- when it sabot other people.” I agree with this
because us girls sometimes don't know how to keep our mouths shut. Gossiping for
all girls in general becomes a habit. Girls in general like to bond, and the
way we do it most of the time, is by talking.
This book doesn't only explain gossiping as an issue. It also
included scenarios that really happen and I can definitely relate to most of
them. It included subjects such as gossiping, bullying (cyber and verbal),
dumping (a best friend for another), and many other topics teens or any people
can relate to. Us girls should stick together and not go against each other.
