Dear Jenna,Listen, I know High School can be tough at times, and yeah your grades aren’t exactly the “Best”, but don’t give up now! At this point you’re probably thinking, what’s this psychopath talking about.. Well, I heard you were dropping out, and I just cant stand to think about how school is going to be without you, and what your life would become without a proper, basic HS education. The economy is really bad at the moment and even college graduates aren’t getting the jobs that they’d hoped for, so what makes you think you’re going to get a good job huh? How are you going to support yourself when your parents are gone? No ones going to want someone who hasn’t even finished High School! Think of your future! think of how successful you could be and how much knowledge you’d be missing out on! You don’t want to be known as the girl who dropped out of High School and got pregnant do you? Don’t be “that girl” just because you couldn’t pull it together your junior year! You only have one more year to go, come on! You’re better than that. I believe in you. But you have to trust me. Listen to me, and I promise it will make a big difference in your life. Get educated! I know you can do it. Make me proud. Your friend, Florence
