In most books, the story starts with a person finding out some devastating truth, that makes them open there eyes and see that world for what it really is, thus starting them on there grand adventure, But this story is different, in this story our main character never opens her eyes to the real world, she saves the day, thus this is the story of Alice.
Alice knew nothing on the real world, she only knew about the small little community that she lived in, and even then she did not know much. Now Alices family was different, and not different in the sense of weird, nor fun, nor loving, nor abusive, Alices family just didnt like to talk, and when they did, only mean words would be spoken. So growing all Alice knew where means words.
You see, Alices dad came from a family where you worked hard, got what you wanted end of that, Alices Mother came from a family where you needed to work hard to survive. Thus nether of Alices parents knew much about sharing, nor caring. They tried to be good parents, that they did, trying to show there children as much love as they could. Of course they did not know how to show love the way other parents do, through hugs and kisses, loving bed time stories, and spending endless hours just listing off different I loves yous. No Alices parents showed there love through mean words, and actions, they never hit there children, heavens no, but there are other mean things that can be done.
Alices mom was a sergeant, but it was not easy for her to get this job. Her mother had always been interested in the sciences, working had in her high school, not meeting many people, always worked up in her studies. She came from a family of 6, Mom, Dad, 2 Sisters, and a Brother, and Herself. Money was tight, if Alicias mom wanted to go to school after high school, she would have to make the money her self, and that she did. After Working for two years at two jobs, she finally got to go to her first year of university, thus working very hard, worked her way to the top.
Alices dad worked at a night-time factory, for the time being. As a boy, he never really liked to work very hard, no matter how much his family hounded him; he did what he wanted when he wanted. Yet again in high-school he found there was very little he wanted to do with the school, so yet again he did what he wanted when he wanted. After high school he worked very many odd jobs, but spent most of his time parting. After awhile he soon relished he needed to do something with his life. After many tries, he finally got into a teachers collage, but was soon kicked out for his lack of respect for any one and any thing.
Alice did not do well in school when it came to popularity, she did not have the nice new clothing that all the other children had, because her family did not have as much money as the others did, and believed if she wanted something she should work for it. She also looked at the world every differently then the other children, because of her different upbringing. To add to all of Alices social problems, the only words she knew were mean ones, she ended up pushing any one would tried to get close to her away with out knowing it.
So she started her school life alone and confused, when she heard that other children speak nice words, she didnt get it. She didnt get the purpose of these words, she did not know how to respond to them, and so learned to fear them and did anything in her power to stay away from them.
This ended up with her school life to be very lonely, and Alice became very bitter and jealous towards the rest of the student population.
At the beginning of high-school Alice found herself with her first taste of friendship, but with friendship came betrayal. Alice didnt like it. So again she responded to everything with mean words, like she always had. If she heard nice words, she responded with mean words, if she was even talked to in the hall she responded with mean words, her name was said, she responded with mean words. And thats the way Alices life went.
In her last few years of high-school Alice found people that she thought she truly valued, she thought they understood her way of thinking and that she had finally found some people in the world they knew what she was talking about. She thought she was finally no longer alone.
And of course, with any important people you want to show them how import they are to you. So she did what her parents did and used mean words. They responded with mean words, and thats how there relation ship worked.
Then one day Alices friends told her that they no longer wished to see her, no longer wished to be her friend. Alice was confused; she did all she could to show them what they meant to her and yet again they were leaving. So of course she used mean words, very mean words, and mean words returned, and they got louder and louder, till they were yelling.
In the end Alice found herself alone again, she spent the night crying, her parents were at loss on what to do. Not understanding at all whats going on, her mom tried to be a good mom and confront her best she could though she didnt know what to say. In the end Alice sent her away, no what any one to see her.
The next day Alice went to school and acted like nothing happened, though the hole school had heard girls yelling, and whispered to each other as she walked by, she acted as though they didnt exist. Her name was said she responded with mean words, she was talked to she responded with mean words.
Now Alice did not care, she did not care about the words she spoke, she did not care about people she spoke to, she did not care about her spilling grades, she did not care that her life was falling apart.
Teachers called her parents, they talked, they tried to pull Alice out of this hole she had dug for her self. Consolers, therapist, all of them talked to her, she did not care. Mean words were said, nice words were said, just plain words were said, and none of them had meaning to her any more.
In the end Alice shot herself, her life had become a void and she wanted nothing to do with it.
On Alices hand they found something written and what she had written was No More Mean Words Please
