About This Quote

The quote, “On the line beside Describe your family, I wrote, "Bad." What is your favorite subject in school? "None." List three of your favorite activities. "Soccer, ballet, and fighting." Two of those favorite activities were lies but one of them was the truth.I am fond of fighting” is a humorous way to capture life experiences where you are actually happy with what you have but someone else has an opinion different than yours. If the first line is “Bad” this could be a child or teenager writing about a negative experience. If it is a teacher’s note about a failing grade, “What is your favorite subject in school? None” there might be a problem with a student behaving badly at school.

If the third line is “Soccer, ballet, and fighting” there might be problems at home that are causing the child to not complete their homework or perform well in class. The last two lines are very important as they can help determine if there is truly an issue with the child or not. However, one of those lines being true makes it seem much more likely that the child has been dealing with something going on at home.
