@Sonicdude13 : Mmm, I'd have to disagree with you there. See, everyone's different. Some people have are tough and put on a tough front...Some people are softer inside and out. Others are soft on the outside, yet fierce within. Trish? I think she falls under the category of tough on the outside, and soft on the inside. It takes some observation, but you do see her softer side quite a lot throughout the series.

You should also take into account the fact that everyone has their own personal histories that no one else knows about - childhood experiences, trauma, etc.

Whether you're "tough" or "soft" - words hurt. They have more power than we give them credit for. If you can block them off - awesome! But the things is, you cannot expect everyone, even people considered "tough", to be able to do that. Not everyone is you, right?

And you could sort of see Trish's toughness. She held it in the best she can, and didn't want to get others involved. She put up barriers, but that did not help her. And people can only take so much before breaking down. Everyone's got their breaking points, and it varies between all individuals, regardless of personality.

I don't think the dropping out of school thing is over-exagerrated at all, either. There are people who do that, for sure. Not everyone deals with bullying the sam way.

Just putting in my two-cents.
