Hi,
I have one more question about my main character, and would 
really appreciate some input.
I know that we have talked in the past about how it isn't a good 
idea to make characters one-dimensional.
The thing about my main character that makes her different from 
her siblings is that she's a lot more introverted than them.  She 
values her relationship with her parents probably more than she 
does her siblings.  Her siblings will go out often, but she 
hardly ever does.  Which means that she is like a "good girl" and 
hardly gets in trouble, and her parents know a lot about her 
because she shares it with them.  It means she has to deal with a 
lot of problems with loneliness in school and the like, but it 
also means she hardly gets in trouble.  Bearing in mind that 
she's not the taking drugs-drinking alcohol type, I'd still like 
to have a time where she really gets her into trouble.  
Considering there can't be anything drug-related, I'm looking for 
things she could do to get into trouble, but the ideas I have 
just seem like nothing.  I'll share them anyway just so you can 
get an idea:
- Playing songs too loud on her phone when her younger siblings 
are sleeping, so she gets the phone taken away.
- Going online during school time when she really should be doing 
classwork, then being found out.
- Website addiction.
- Reading when she shouldn't.
- Reacting strongly to someone out of anger.
Sorry if these seem bad, but I'm a bit stuck and would like 
ideas.
Thanks,
Vejas
