June didn't tell her mother that the other June was tormenting her because June's mother always said that June shouldn't get involved with all the bad stuff, and June getting tormented is bad stuff. I think that June is worried that if she tells her mother that she is getting tormented that her mother might be disappointed in her. Also, I think that June thinks that it will only get worse if she tells her mother, so instead she keeps her mother out of it.

I think June was finally able to say ''no''to the other June because on page 34 it said that June T. said that she was dreaming of kicking and punching the other June and that probably mean that June M. was treating her like a dog.June thought she had enough bullying from the other June so she finally said ''no,that's enough'' but yet,she kept bullying.

June finally said no more because she remembered what her mom had told her about turning her check and smile at the world and the world will surely smile back. So June turned her check and it got slapped by June M. June T finally realized that everything her mother tells her is not right. Some things are right and some things are wrong. June T decided that she needed to stand up for herself. She finally learned that her mother can't always protect her from everything. So June T finally got the strength to say no more

I agree with you Sofia. Her mother can't protect her from everyhing. Her mom was not correct for “Turn your cheek” and “smile to the sun and the sun will smile back” but those never came true.

I think that June said "no more" because she couldn't stand the horrible things the other June was doing to her. She also didn't take physical action against the other June, she took verbal action, and not even strong verbal action, all she said was "no" and "no more". And if you ask me, I would say she had a right to, I mean who would want to be hit, punched, and just generally tormented.

I think June finally said "no more" to the other June because she had had enough of the bullying from the other June. For example, the other June had pinched June, punched her, pushed her into the swimming pool and did all sorts of things bad to June until she got lots of bruises. June thought she was a dog of the other June. June wanted to bite, kick and punch the other June but her mother said don't fight. So instead June had just said "no more" while the other June was poking her with sharp pencils because she had finally had enough of the bullying.

I think June didn't tell her mon because I think she wouldn't do that much and only make June feel better. Also it would show her as weak and the other June make her pick on her more and maybe it would be more worse

I think that June mustered up the strength to say "no more" because she had enough of the teasing of the other June, she found out that all that her mother said that time had all been wrong. Her mom said "Turn to the other cheek" but June's cheek was slapped. Her mom also said "Smile to the sun, the sun will smile back." But when she smiled the sun did not smile back. June thought the other June had turn her into a vicious dog inside. I mean June was dreaming of herself by the swimming pool biting her arm and digging into her skin, like the pencils that she felt poking into her skin. June's mom thought payback and revenge was bad, but sometimes a little packback is ok when some one is that mean. But still follow, "Turn to the other cheek"

I think June didn't tell her mom because her mom told her to not get involved with the bad stuff. When the other June torments her, that is a bad thing. I also think June didn't tell her mother because she doesn't want get her mom stressed out. The evidence from the text says that she doesn't want her mom to be tired at work. Also, if she told her mom, her mom would actually make a big deal out of it and actually get worried about June because her mother really cares for her. Another reason i think June didn't tell her mother was because i think she wanted to stand up for herself. She didn't want the other June to think she is too afraid to stand up for herself. The evidence from the text says that she dreamed of kicking, punching, and hitting the other June. Otherwise, the other June would think she is too afraid to stand up for herself and the other June would buly her even more.

I think that June didn't tell her mom because she thought that her mom had to much work to do and wouldn't take care of it because in the beginning the text said " We don't need another problem. Maybe she she thought that she could beat the other June while she was sleeping and then when she wanted to do it, her mom's words came back to her. The text said " I dreamed of kicking and pinching her." But when it came to that she remembered her mom's words.

I think that June did not tell her mom that the other June was tormenting her because she already seemed like a weak person to the other June. June did not say anything when the other June bullied her, so the other June thinks she cannot stand up for herself. If her mom told the other June to stop bullying her Junie, the other June would think that June needs an adult to solve her problems for her. The other June would then just bully her more because she thinks she has power over people who are weak, and June already SEEMS WEAK TO THE OTHER JUNE.

I think that June did not tell her mother that the other June was tormenting her because in the text her mother said ''We have enough troubles getting by,we surely don't need a single one more... I think that means being bullied by June M. is another problem,she does not want her mother to know also because her mother in the morning she made pancakes for breakfast and I made sandwiches for lunch,but she just drank a cup of coffee and a pancake she said gotta fly she had a hard job at the pot factory.

I agree Jay because her mother is always very busy. She has to go to work early in the morning.

I think that June was able to say "no more" to the other June because June probably got tiered of the other June torturing her so much that she even started to dream to go back at her to give pay back! So, I think when she said "no more" to the other June she probably was thinking about her dream about giving pay back.

I think June said "no more" because the other June was hitting her, punching, kicking, name calling, e.t.c. She had enough of the other June bullying her. She wanted her to have a bad memory just like she had done to her.

I think that June was finally able to say no to the other June because she remembered what her mom said about turning the other cheek and the world would smile back but the world did not smile back. I also think June finally said no because she realized that everyday there would be the other June. After that she was finally able to say no

I think that June did not tell her mom that the other was tormenting her because cause on the first page Junes mom says '' we surely do not need another trouble we already have enough to worry about '' or something like that. Since Junes cares for her mother she does not want to add another trouble to her life
