Activity 2: Hurtful chats

CHATTING WITH JOSIE WESTEND

Status: online

Amy Harris says:
Hay ya.  Do you reckon we can ditch Tasnim when we go shopping after school tomorrow?  I get embarrassed by her headscarf.  We always get looked at, it's weird.

Josie Westend says:
Yeah I know aye, but that's pretty dog.

Amy Harris says:
Why?  We still hang out with her at school and stuff.  Anyway, she chooses to wear the hijab, it's not really our fault if we don't want to be round her all the time.

Josie Westend says:
I guess so.  But you better make up a good excuse because she would be pretty hurt if she found out.

Amy Harris says:
Yeah, will do.  I'll tell her I’ve been grounded and have to go straight home.  Don't tell her about this though!

Josie Westend says:
Okay, but I'm not sure about this, kinda mean.  I'll talk to you tomorrow.
