Because of Anya by Margaret peterson Haddix

The characters do not react the way they would in a real situation. Because of Anya's hair cancer, she does not want anyone to know about it because she will feel all embarrassed about people knowing about it. She tries to hide it but that does not work, some girls found out about it and others did not. That is not how it would be in real life because if it were real life then most people would tell other people about it. They would tell people that they would trust and that would try to help them and pray for them to get better.
