The Princess Disease
Have you ever heard of the princess disease? It is a terrible disease.___26___It wastes away at one’s social life and people’s tolerance. People with this disease think they are better than everyone else, without a real reason.
Jin is a girl who suffers from this disease.___27___She thinks she is better looking than her friends and most people she has met. It is, as far as she is concerned, a well-known fact that she dresses better, sings better, and dances better than most people in her school, too.
So is Jin justified in believing that she is better than everyone else?___28___Of course, she thinks this is because the singing coach hates her, since the coach has bad skin and is jealous of her. She is good at sports, but she isn’t the strongest, fastest, or even the best at any of their school’s events.___29___She, again thinks it was because of the “haters”. After losing, she pretended she’d just run for fun and it was no big deal, but in fact it was a huge deal to her.
Jin definitely has the disease. The treatment is to stop being so mean and get a little modesty.___30___She might even get rid of this disease if she tries hard enough.
