Advice for Ruby by Yumna Amir

Dear Ms. Ruby Cathy,
I'm sorry to hear about your mother's death! It must be affecting everyone deeply.
What I'm surprised by is your father's actions. No matter what, a parent SHOULD NOT discipline their child(ren) by physical abuse or any object to hit them with. What good will that do? It will only get the child more likely to carry on their action,not give any care about themselves, or anyone around them. The death of your mother, could also be leading to their troublesome relationship.It's common for young children or teens to express their emotions in a negative way.(Ex: anger). Instead of going for help or talking about the sad event,your sister and father have found "other ways" to avoid the situation. If you can have a family meeting together to talk about how to settle this unnecessary action taking place. Convince your father to handle your sister in a better approach. Vice-versa, advise your sister that disrespecting her father won't do any good, it'll lead to a habit in her future to others around her as well. If this strategy doesn't help get help from a family counselor. Note: It's normal for people to deal with death in frustrating ways that you wouldn't have expected. Hopefully, by the time you read this you'll have found some useful information to patch up your family's relationship! :)

  1. I liked this Yumna! This was truly, a nice response to the prompt. But one thing I found, is that even in newspapers, there aren't emoticons... I wish there were! That's the only things I sought of it that needed some improvement!

  4. Good job... I agree with Hailey about the emoticons. A little proofreading would have given this a more polished look. I will have a grade for you tomorrow!
