Here's the answer Dear
This was a dark time in Malala’s life: the country was in chaos, and she felt unsafe in her own town. She didn’t feel comfortable wearing her school uniform, since the uniform was a sign that she was being educated, and thus, in the Taliban’s eyes, dishonoring Allah. Nevertheless, Malala began high school. She continued to do well on her exams, usually defeating her rival, Malka-e-Noor. She had trouble with mathematics, but excelled at writing and theater. She wrote an amusing sketch based on Romeo and Juliet. Malala notes that the sketch was popular, in no small part because laughs were few and far between at the time.
Here we see that the Taliban have, in some ways, been successful in their goals: they’ve used terrorism to inspire fear and anxiety in millions of people, showing them that they’re in danger of losing their lives if they persist in attending school. At the same time, Malala refuses to give up on her education as Tor Pekai did. She continues attending school, encouraged by both her father and mother. Selfless as ever, she uses her intelligence and quick wit to bring happiness to others.

Across Pakistan the Taliban started blowing up schools for girls. When Malala heard about this she was horrified, unable to believe that anyone could do such a thing. At one point in 2008, a girls’ school was blown up almost every day. In February, Malala was sitting in her kitchen when she heard an explosion: a suicide bomber, she later learned, had blown up a chunk of the Haji Baba High School, not far from Malala’s school. Malala asked Ziauddin if he was frightened, now that the Taliban violence had reached his home. Ziauddin replied that they had to remember their courage and refuse to give in to the Taliban’s intimidation.
At age seven, Malala is known for being clever and active in all sorts of school activities. She develops rivalries with other children, especially a girl named Safina, whom she accuses of stealing her favorite toy. In revenge, Malala begins stealing Safina's toy jewelry. Malala is aghast to learn that all her family knew she was stealing and was waiting for her to admit it, but she never did until they confronted her. In another incident, Malala steals some almonds from a merchant, for which her poor parents are forced to pay. Since then, Malala claims that she has never lied or stolen.Malala explains that the Pashtun live by a system of honor and revenge. Feuds, or informal conflicts between families, can last for decades. A Pashtun never says thank you because they know that any good deed will be repaid eventually. Malala says her father was respected and often called upon to mediate feuds. He did not believe in taking revenge so he tried to work out peaceful outcomes. Malala reflects that she also does not believe in revenge.Malala describes the people running Pakistan as corrupt, namely Pervez Musharraf, a military dictator who came to power in 1999. Malala meets Moniba around the same time. Moniba and Malala become best friends and compete in a public-speaking competition. Malala reads a passage from Abraham Lincoln but loses the competition. Nevertheless, she takes losing gracefully and begins writing her own speeches.
