Yeah when I was 11ish I definitely was certain I'd be the first female president. I think being a writer is alot more likely for Mal than being president for me I'm pretty sure you'd be better than Hillary.

I just have to say that fanfic, Claudia Kishi Middle School Mama, is the funniest thing. That, and Mallory Pike, Freshest Freshman.

I don't think Mallory is that weird! I think she's just really insecure. She could grow out of her insecurity, but she'll probably always be a little sensitive/emotional and wishy-washy. I felt bad for her when the kids in her riding class didn't want to be friends with her -- it was sweet how earnest & eager she was to make new friends.

^ Agree. I felt the exact same way about Mallory in that one.

I think Mallory is just a little on the shy side, and really insecure.

And eleven years old. Eleven year olds and adults do think a bit differently!

I don't think Mallory is mentally unstable. She just goes through issues that most girls go through at age eleven.

I don't think Mallory's mentally unstable. I think she's just really insecure about her looks.

Some of the posts here are killing me LOLLLLL
I think she's young and frustrated, but maybe she'll be an eccentric writer if not one that just ends up writing fanfic or something while working doing something else.

I don't think that Mallory is mentally unstable at all. Awkward, yes, but I always felt that she was developed the way she was as a character to relate more to the readers. If I were to compare to to Jessi, let's say, I sort of like the development and depth that her character was given more. After all, we can't all be sophisticated Stacey types

Mallory can be a little weird, but she has so many classic moments to laugh about in the series.

If any of the girls are (slightly) unstable it would have to be Mary Anne not Mal. Mal just thanks to Ann and Co gets all the bad luck. Yes she can be whiny but overall she is a do-er and typical 11 year old. MA, on the other hand, literally can go from happy to "get out of my life forever," in less than 60 seconds.

If Mallory is mentally unstable, then so was I back in the day. A lot of her awkwardness reminds me of me at that age.

Mallory is just like I was, back in the day. Insecure, poor self-esteem and body image, high strung and possibly anxious-- all normal, especially for an 11-year-old. I'm rereading Mallory Hates Boys (and Gym) right now and it's like it's my autobiography from middle school. Huge glasses, frizzy hair, dorky wardrobe, horrible at sports and dreads going to PE every day because she's always picked last or made fun of or yelled at by the teacher-- I went through all of that (although I didn't get my braces until high school, but there were years before I got contacts finally when I did have braces and glasses). She's not mentally unstable, she's just a normal 11 year old who is going through a seriously awkward phase... as most people at 11 do.

I think anyone would be a little mentally unstable with all of those younger brothers and sisters to "help" take care of.
