As a child, you have this overwhelming feeling of being less then
Of always being controlled by adults
And I personally never stood for it
This is part of the reason why my mother and I argued so very much
I didn't want to be controlled
I felt trapped
When you're born you're stuck on your parent's side
You listen to them
When you get older you start to get a feel of the world and maturity falls on you
And here's where lesson number one comes in
Don't give in
To anyone's needs, including your parents
yes it's spectacular to help them
and you do need to
but giving in to your parents constantly is something you start to regret
and I wish I could tell Eleven year old Emmalee
There goes young Emmalee having to take the blame for something you know you did not do
because we all know what happens when you respond
I walk into the kitchen to be yelled at where the blow drier was
I tell my mom lets call her
Emilia
''I have no reason to take it'' I claim
she responds
''Exactly you have your own''
and I state ''exactly ''
''So why is it not in the bag ''she states
''I don't know I've been in school all day ''she gets all fired up and leaves the blame upon me
I go check the bag
And bada bing bada boom there is the magical blow drier
After constant arguments, you start to give in
But it utterly destroys all character
Leaves you defenseless in the world
Because you're always going to be a five-year-old glued to your parents
And when your older
Who's going to make decisions
Not your parents
And I'm telling you, you don't even have to be an adult to realize decision-making gets harder
When you are thirteen you give in to social standards
To what you think ''boys want''
you change yourself and lose yourself
even though you are perfectly fine
When you are thirteen you give in to teachers
Did you ever know your teacher was wrong and stood up but got shunned just because of their age?
So If this is thirteen year old, Amelia, Sarah, Jessica, etc
This is your lesson number one
