I need Ideas. Please Help!?

Question

I've had to read the book Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson for some stupid summer reading thing the PTA organized. I finished the book and now I need to write an essay on why it took the main character an entire school year to tell people what happened to her. I have a few Ideas, but I'm having a little trouble writing about them.

I need one main reason and three sub-reasons for a paragraph.

Speak is a cleaver and an ironic title for a story in which the main character chooses not to speak. The story is written in first-person narration from the point of view of protagonist, Melinda Sordino. Speak is written like an interior monologue in the mind of an introverted teenage girl, like excerpts from her personal diary during her miserable freshman year of high school. Instead of blending in and finding her way through high school. She withdraws and secludes herself from the other students. She calls herself an "outcast." Melinda is so desperate to hide from the world; she turns an old janitor's closet at the high school into her safe haven. She cuts classes to hide in her closet. How lonely could this teenage girl be? All of these characteristics are common in assault victims. Melinda has been seriously disturbed by something traumatic and doesn't feel comfortable talking about it, nor does she really trust anyone.
