Her juggling act cant last forever and is in danger of coming down like a house of cards, as her worlds get closer and closer to a collision course. Like most teens, she wants to fit in, but since the different groups she belongs to have opposite expectations, she winds up walking a precarious tightrope of conflicting roles, impeding her ability to know and understand herself.
