Melinda Sordino: A Short Story
Today I had a session with Melinda Sordino, a high school freshman dealing with depression. She talked about the difficulties she was having, including losing her best friend, Rachel Bruin, and recently losing her friend, Heather. Rachel stopped being friends with her after Melinda had called the police at an end of the summer party, but not for the reasons many would expect. She expressed her feelings sadness towards Rachel and how she felt like she couldn’t tell anyone about what really happened at the party.
We then talked about Heather, Melinda’s friend that she made this year who also left her to be alone. Heather was a new student this year and Melinda was the first person she had met, so Heather instantly wanted to be Melinda’s friend.
