Do you think that the new counselor will help Bradley?
_____________________________________________________________________
I think that the new counselor is nice and likes the unusual. She understands
kids and wants to
help out. Also, she doesn't make judgments on kids, she likes people for
who they are.
Therefore, she will definitely help Bradley out.

BaCk To SeCtIOn oNe rOLeSBradley's problem was that he did not tell his mother the truth about his struggles in school. He lied and told her that he was elected class president and was making A's, when in fact he was failing and was not liked by most of his peers. His teacher, Mrs. Ebbel, had realized that Bradley had not told his mom about a Conference Day and was going to have one the next day.Bradley solved this problem screaming, "It's not fair" and then slamming his bedroom door.
I think that he will try to suck up to his mom so that he will not get in so much trouble.
If I were Bradley, I would confront my mom and dad and tell them that I was having a troublesome time at school. That I didn't have many friends and that it was hard to make the right decisions. I would also be glad that the counselor was glad to help me out.
