Teenagehood Stories

When Anita's mother dies, the heart monitor flattens into a straight line - a line her mother could never draw. That moment changes everything. At sixteen, Anita becomes the mother of three siblings in the soot-stained city of Port Harcourt. While other girls dream of school and love, she learns to trade both for survival - selling zobo by the roadside, burying her tears beneath duty. Life takes more than it gives: her father, her dreams, her body, her freedom. When a boy named Kenneth offers her a glimpse of tenderness, it feels almost like healing - until loss returns, sharper than before. From the farms of the village to the glittering loneliness of the city, Anita's life becomes a series of choices made in the dark, each one carving her into someone she never planned to be. In Straight Lines, I tell a story of womanhood, survival, and the cruel poetry of fate - where love comes too late, and the lines we draw to hold ourselves together don't always stay straight. #1 rightpersonwrongtime - Jan 6th, 2026 #1 teenagehood - Jan 6th, 2026 Started: 29th October, 2025 Ended: ... #JusticeforOchanya

"I live in a city, while everyone live in a lowly village, a suburban residence , a shack in the forest, I live in a city, where everything is near and convenient, I live in a city, where the intelligence gets made, where opportunities are found, I live in a city, a polluted one. where my lung are filled with gasses and the rays of sunshine never touch the ground, Where people get rob and beaten and gun shot all around, Where trees and flower bloom, Too inevitably die by the toxic fumes, I'm living the dream ,aren't I? Everyone wants to live in the city. " Poem about being stuck, finding hope, emotional abuse and being misunderstood.
