Can you read the beginning of my paper (about me) tell me what you think. ?

Brava dear girl. You write well. However you have a gift for the run-on sentences. Brake them up with more periods and you will develop a better rhythm. Or at the least use semi-colons. "She never thought about anyone (else's) feelings" needs correcting. Don't use slang on an academic paper ( huffing, kush?) it's not a novel. She came home high one night... Strike out (one night) or put it earlier in the sentence. You write that the school called your father to question her attendance and said she had not been there since the second day, though you failed to tell the reader if school had started just one week earlier or if it had begun six months ago. This would make a significant difference in the severity of her truancy. And I'm sure the reader would find that important. You are a fine writer, however your final part in quotes is confusing. It's not clear if you are truly seeing her or if it is only a visualization. And if it is a real meeting, where is it at... your room, her place, a party?
