Social Awareness: She's SO dead to us

The book, "She's SO dead to us," is a book about bullying, family issues, and some other issues that seriously need to be thought about. The main character is Ally, her father had invested on a big project, working with a lot of other parents, gathering money. Until the project had failed, making tons of people lose a lot of money. Ally's family moves out of her town and her parents divorce. She realizes her father was all about the money, all the actions that showed love and gratitude were all fake. 


Then her mother finds a job again in the same town. When Ally moves back she is pushed downwards for the actions her father had done. She is no longer elite, no longer "one of the best." It isn't fair that just because of a mistake her father had done she had plunged downwards. She was finally one of the "normals" she wasn't the one everyone liked anymore. Isn't that unfair, just because of the money she used to have she was allowed to be part of them. But after that, when she lost her money, she was no longer the cool kid. Unfair isn't it? Why should someone be allowed to be "in," if they have money, and if they don't they can no longer be "in."


Change is needed, and it is needed fast.
