Answer 1

Dear Charlemagne,

I hope this letter finds you well. I’ve noticed that recently you’ve been behaving in ways that might be pushing the boundaries a bit too far. It seems like you’re engaging in some unruly behaviors—like skipping classes, disruptive antics during lunch, and not taking your responsibilities seriously. I’m genuinely concerned because I know that these actions can lead to bigger issues, like facing disciplinary consequences at school or even causing a rift with your friends and family.

To help you turn things around, perhaps you could start by setting small goals for yourself, like attending all your classes this week and participating in class discussions. Engaging in positive activities could replace some of the disruptive behaviors you've been showing. Joining a club or sport might also help you find a constructive outlet for your energy. It’s important to remember that being unruly doesn’t have to define you; you can be the person who chooses to rise above these challenges and set a good example for others.

Sincerely, your friend
