I keep what I know about Sarah Lynn and Lawrence to myself. I also remind myself that even if Sarah Lynn does have a scary strict father, that doesn't release her from the responsibility of treating others with respect. Abuse of power is wrong, no matter the context, no matter the history. What is "power" anyway? Power is an ego trip. Power is a way to rise yourself up by lowering others, and I want nothing of it. Lauren Myracle
About This Quote

This quote is saying that the person who should not be given power is someone who has abused their power and used it for evil. Just because Sarah Lynn's father abused his power to hurt other people, she was not given that same sort of power by him to hurt other people.
