Just think if you called the fuzz on a party and everybody hated you? After you called the fuzz no one talks to you and thinks you’re a freak. Without friends and reputation you're nothing. This is just one of Melinda’s conflicts in Laurie Halie Anderson novel “Speak”.

This is a very bad thing that happened to Mlinda, and is her main conflict.
On the other hand since she has gotten raped and called the cops, no one likes her or even talks to her. As quote, “ Aren’t you the one who called the cops at Kyle Rodgers party at the end of the summer.”, as said was a girl brother that got arrested at that party. But now she is getting the guts to tell someone.
