Overall YDGWTKYA was my favorite book we have read in class. I would definitely recommend this book to a teenager. The author in this book does a wonderful job making the bullying Piddy experiences realistic. I can say as a reader I felt sympathy for Piddy and the situation she went through. Reading the book I often found myself tapping into my emotions often I was frustrated for Piddy and it felt like she could never win. I also often found myself wanting to beat Yaqui Delgado up myself for Piddy, I felt myself feeling like an older sister for Piddy lol. I was embarrassed for Piddy when Yaqui beat her up and the recorded it. I can't imagine having someone do that to me, I was embarrassed for her because I couldn't believe Yaqui stripped her naked, beat her up badly and then posted it for the whole world to see. I definitely understood why Piddy was constantly skipping school, dealing with the whole situation probably took a toll on Piddy's mental health. Piddy was probably constantly paranoid of the unknown or when would Yaqui strike again. I was extremely disappointed when Piddy neighbor watched her get beat up and wouldn't open up the door for her, like seriously who does that! Overall I just wish Piddy would have told her mom or the school what was going on a lot sooner instead of dealing with the constant bullying. Instead of serving a detention, skipping school, and falling behind. Yaqui bullying Piddy took over many aspects of her life. The story had a perfect ending, and gave the reader a better idea of why Piddy was bullied. The ending showed the importance of family, and I'm glad Piddy was able to tell her family what was really going on with her.

I think this was also my favorite book we have read so far. I was frustrated that Piddy kept everything secret for so long, I wanted her to get help so badly! But I imagine that is something that would be extremely hard to tell.
ReplyDeleteI know, I was shocked too when the neighbor did not even try to help. She didn't even say anything.
