Scared

                   When Junior says that she's scared all the time, but nobody will let her be scared he means that, since she is a pretty, smart and popular girl everybody expects her life to be perfect and that she could not wish for anything better. Though this is the common view, Penelope is scared as she fells that she is lonely and has nobody to talk to and express her feelings. Soon Junior can feel what is going on in her life and that she has a dictatorial father that does not accept certain views. As Junior talks more and more to Penelope he realizes that she is a kind girl that needs a friend that will help her to get through tough times.  When Junior gets to know Penelope, the more he realizes that she is a normal girl with regular problems that he would like to help her solve. In this time for Penelope Junior tries to help her and says "Don't give up (108)" and to keep on trying to get to her goal of not being scared. In this time Junior is a good friend and is able to give Penelope great help.
