Survival Kit for Sophie in "The shape of a girl"

by Tayla Hamilton

Band-Aids

Of course, the first thing we think about having in a survival/first aid kit are band-aids. I believe that Sophie needs them the most because she has both physical and emotional pain from bullying. Even if it may not cure her psychological pain, they will always give support.

Phone a counsellor:

Sofie should get in touch with a counsellor because the bullying she is experiencing is getting worse. She is also displaying dangerous behavior that could result in self harm. Talking to a counsellor might help Sophie in the long run so that she does not make the same mistakes  with how she chooses her friends.

Headphones:

Sophie needs headphones to block out all the negatives she is experiencing. She needs to stop listening to what other people, especially her friends, think about her.

"Directions for decision making"

Sophie should have directions for decision making because her friends are peer pressuring her to make the wrong decisions which in turn get her into trouble.

A diary:

I learn't that Sophie had a diary that she had kept before she ran away from Adrienne. I think that she should get another diary since it seemed to help her get through the difficulties that she faced.
