Answer: Character vs self.
Explanation: In the given excerpt from "Yearbook" we can see the description of a girl that thinks of herself as an individual and also is afraid to be open and share with other people, because her best friend moved to another city and left her, because of these reasons she spends her time alone. This is the description of a conflict of the character vs herself, because the issues she have are within her, not with the society or another character.
Answer:
Believe in yourself instead of conforming to the values of others.
Explanation:
Philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson in his essay "Self Reliance" argue about the effect of polite society on an individual's personal growth. Only self sufficiency is capable of providing freedom to an individual in discovering their true self and worth, bringing forth true independence on the individual.
He emphasized on the importance of an individual to follow their own voices rather than trying to conform to the dictates and values set by the society. He posits the issue of self reliance in oneself and the importance of the imaginary thinking capacity of an individual. He also argues that the most important realization for an individual is trusting himself. He promotes self reliance as an ideal virtue for everyone. "Believe in yourself instead of conforming to the values of others" best sums up the passage provided in the question.

At a certain point, June begins to defy her mother's wishes. In the excerpt we are analyzing here, for instance, she decides to show how bored and uninterested she is with the intention of making her mother give up on her. June is fighting - as much as she can as a child - for own independence. She believes she can change her mother's feelings and behavior if she performs badly at the tasks she is given.
