For Michelle “it was always an ordeal” (Revoyr 34) to go to school every day because she was being bullied by the from his classmate, Jeannie Allen. Jeannie engages in this callous behavior because her parents never disciplined her not to do it. Revoyr mentioned that at one point, Jeannie's parents witnessed how their daughter was terrorizing Michelle and they refused to intervene and stop it. Mr. and Mrs. Allen are not very accepting of mixed or colored races, so they did not intervene and make their daughter believe that the pain she was inflicting was acceptable. Until a child is told what he is doing is wrong and punished for it, he will continue his task thinking it is wrong..
