Dear Ruby Cathy,
I am very sorry to hear about what is going on in your family. I am also sorry to hear about your loss and my condolences go out to your family. It is a very painful thing to go through in your life, but your not alone. There are thousands of fathers and or mothers that beat their kids. There also may be some reasons to why your father beats you. Some parents just do this to put discapline into their kids and if they do this it makes them better people in the end. Your father may be doing this because sinse your mother is gone he may think the only way to help his daughters is to beat them. I know it sounds crazy, but in some cases this is true. I personally don't know you Ruby, but there are a few different approaches you could try and tackle this problem with.
One approach you can do is just sit down with your father and talk to him privately, then talk with your sister privately, then bring them both together and talk everything out. Telling Calvin how much you love him and how much you need him and we can find another way of discipline other than beating. You try and get your sister to tell you and your father whats wrong and work your problem out from there. Your sister just may need attention or it could be the simpliest thing. Another approach you could take is try and save up your money and sign you, your father, and your sister up for therapy. I know that may sound a bit extreme but nine times out of ten therapy will solve the problem and you and your family could be living a happy and healthy life. Another thing you could do is if you have any close relatives bring them into the equation and have a intervention. I hope you can work everything out and I wish you much luck.

Good job... a few typos could have been caught with proofreading. I will have a grade for you tomorrow. Don't forget to comment on other students' work!
ReplyDeleteI like how you gave a few approaches to the situation. There were a few typos but otherwise it was a very good and well thought out advice column! :)
