anti-self-reliance

Sara, a 15 year old girl with four brothers, a sister, and a father who works as a writer, lives a beautiful life with her family and friends. Sarah comes from a family that cherishes reading and education in general. Last Christmas, her family gave her a most precious gift to her heart – a book. After the Christmas break was over, going back to school, Sarah finds out that all her classmates received new phones for Christmas. As everyone was showing off their new belongings, Shereen, Sarah’s best friend, asked about Sarah’s Christmas present. Sarah answered that she received a special gift this year from her parents; she now has a brand new book. When her classmates heard about Sarah’s gift, they automatically started making fun of her. Bombarded by the comments she heard from her classmates, and in an attempt to stop the bullying she went through at school, Sarah decides on purchasing a brand new phone which is even newer than her classmates’.
