Lisa

Before Lisa was diagnosed with Lupus, she was a popular athlete. She couldn't play after she got it because it made her tired quickly and she couldn't be out in the sun for a long time. Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease. It makes you have chronic pain, arthritis, headaches, heart and lung problems, hair loss, exhaustion, and bad reactions when exposed to the sun.
When Lisa came back from the hospital, almost every one of her friends that were on her tennis team exiled her just because she couldn't play anymore. Jordan was the only real friend she had left. Lisa just wanted to fit in. This is why Jordan's is the only picture she has.
I think that websites like "Lupus," "Lupus: Its Impact on Young People," and "Lupus Treatments" would make her struggle less agonizing. "Lupus: It's Impact on Young People" would be a good website to help her deal with having this disease. I thought that "Lupus Treatments" would help her find ways of making the pain go away because she said that her medicine wasn't working well. "Lupus" is a great website to look through. It would help her a lot in different ways. She could find things like diets, exercises, and other people who have lupus. I also found a website with sports that she could play. It is "Low Energy Sports." I think it would help her because it doesn't take a lot of energy to play them. "Fashion and Style" would help her feel like she fits in.
Lisa wants people to accept her and not feel bad for her, which is why she has the Lupus Awareness ribbon on her page. I also thought she would like to have fashion tips so she could feel like she fits in and have a higher self esteem.
I think that she would choose the pink background because she is a preppy person.
