Valid points that most kids would suggest in the same circumstances, yes. I just find it difficult to hear it coming from a grade five student. I'm guessing this is about the age of eleven, if your grades are similar to Australia. The language is far too academic, but the ideas behind it all are fairly accurate to what I've seen kids of this age feel. Nice piece, but I'd wager more than half of those words your average grade five kid wouldn't use or even know. Cheers. Nice letter, agreed.
