I really enjoyed this! It's an honest, unflinching observation on youth. Everyone can relate to having felt similar emotions growing up, yet this young lady is an entity unto herself. Her opinion on school and tests is great.
Hey, writing is one of the ways anger can be managed and it makes for an excellent story.

I totally love the way this flows, the eloquence, the way it explains the feelings as well as the bewilderment of why this young lady with the ponytail was so misunderstood. Like Debi said, I think everyone can find something in this with which they can identify. Reading about the voracious reading, losing yourself in books, made me nod in understanding, for I did the same thing.
