Applied Learning: (Questions 2-4)
Maya is 13 years old and is living with her aunt following her mother’s recent admission to a substance abuse treatment center. Every day after school, Maya goes directly to her room to listen to music on her headphones, and when her aunt asks her to start her homework, Maya refuses. “What do you care? Butt out! You’re not my mom!” Maya says. Her aunt threatens to take away her headphones if she doesn’t start her homework right away, but Maya again refuses. After much back and forth, Maya slams the door and yells, “I hate you!” Fed up and exhausted, Maya’s aunt says, “Fine. Keep this up, and you’ll end up just like your mother.”
