They said, serafina, you need to learn to be responsible and learn to do things right. But mum I need to take risks to learn how to do things right. Serafina there are other ways to learn than putting yourself in danger.
But how, how am I meant to learn things if I don't take risks, how!!!
I don't know right now said mum.
We will find a way to get you under control said dad.
At this remark I exploded with rage, I start yelling, MUM, DAD, I AM OLD ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF, SOME DAY YOU WILL HAVE TO TRUST ME TO MAKE MY OWN JUDGEMENT, I CAN'T LEARN ANYTHING IF YOU GUYS ARE KEEPING ME IN A PROTECTIVE COCOON, SOME DAY YOU WILL NOT BE AROUND, IF I CAN'T LEARN HOW TO DO THINGS ON MY OWN HOW AM I MEANT TO SURVIVE? HUH? I LEARN SOME THINGS FROM YOU BUT I CAN'T LEARN everything, I have to be able to do things on my own, please understand me!!
Mum and dad are looking at me, shocked!!
Mum starts to talk but all she can manage is a few stuttering words. Dad's mouth is opening and closing, both are speechless.
I wait for one of them to respond, I expect them to yell back at me for yelling at them. A minuet or so passes and nothing happens, from utter shock to an awkward silence.
Then there is a knock on the door.
