During her junior year of high school, the author had issues with attitude and discipline problems. She would frequently get into arguments with teachers when they gave her instructions she didn't like or criticized her. This led to her getting sent to the office and having to change seats in class often. Near Thanksgiving break, the author got into a physical fight with another student after exchanging insults, and had to be pulled off the other student by teachers and police officers. While her junior year involved many discipline problems, the author says she enjoyed it and wouldn't take it back.
