Hey Katie. What’s up ?
Hey Patrick. I’m going to Paula’s school. I think she messed up again.
That’s the third time this month. Why don’t you talk to her?
I did. I guess she’s all worried about her exams. She’s under a lot of pressure.
She’s a freshman. The first year can be tough.
I know. I talked to her four three hours yesterday.There’s a lot of pressure on students these days.
She didn’t listen to me and just started crying
That’s bad, Katie. Maybe you should take her to a therapist.
I think that’s exactly what I’ll do.
Hey Shawna. Can you help me out with something?
Sure Katie. What is it?
Paula’s been under a lot of pressure lately. I don’t know what to do.
Why don't you ask her to join something she likes? What are her hobbies?
Well, she likes to play her guitar. She also likes painting and sketching.
Do you think she’ll like to join an art or music class?
I think so. Music and art are her favorite hobbies.
Great then. I know a place which offers weekend programs for teenagers. We can go there tomorrow.
Thanks a lot Shawna.
Hey! I’m Penny. We just moved here last week.
I’m Katie. Nice to meet you. Welcome to the neighbourhood. Anything I can help you out with?
Actually, yes. My son is a freshman and I don’t know anything about schools around here.
My daughter’s a freshman too. She goes to Belmont. It’s a nice school
Oh, really? That’s nice. Does Belmont have a good football team?
My son was in his last school’s football team. He wants to continue playing.
Sure. Don’t worry about it. It’s a great school. I take my daughter to school every morning.
You should come with us and have a look around.
That would be great. Thank you.
