All of this could have been avoided by not going to Kyle Rodgers party. Melinda was underage and decided to make a stupid decision and get really drunk. Therefore, she was sexually abused by a senior, Andy Evans. Melinda could have changed her situation if she had just told someone what happened.

Melinda should have told her friends. She could have told them because they would have listened to her and maybe would have understood why she called the police and would maybe still of been her friend. But instead she kept it a secret and for example she could have told Rachel when they were alone in the bathroom but instead she just kept her mouth shut and if you don’t tell anyone then you might regret it later. Melinda also could have told her parents because that’s one of the first things I probably would of done out of everyone. Her mother asks her what’s wrong and she says nothing. She could have also told Mr. Freeman. That would have been a very weird conversation though. Mr. Freeman wants to listen to her and talk to her about things. In all of these she said nothing. In all she kept it a secret until she told Rachel and she didn’t believe her because at the time Andy Evans was her boyfriend.

Melinda could have changed her situation if she had just told someone what happened. She would have had friends and wouldn’t have the bad life that she’s been having if she would have just told someone about what happened.
