No, you are a very pretty girl and Southern accents are cute! Especially if you live in Alabama. As long as you use proper grammar you're good.
She is probably just jealous that you are pretty and have a nice accent. Never let anyone make you feel bad about yourself because you are beautiful! Hope this helps!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
