Forced To Grow Up Too Soon

"I have friends! I have a family!" Em shouted. "I should be with them. I should be a child still. I should be licking droplets of sherbet off of my ice cream cone in the heat of a raving summer. I should be giggling into my overpriced phone till midnight obsessing over gorgeous movie stars and the hot teenaged boys way out of our league at school with my best friend. I should be secretly sneaking out of the house in a too-tight minniskirt, and makeup caked over my face. I should be arguing with my parents over wether or not I'm allowed to attend Jimmy Kernal's crazy sweet sixteen party. I should be complaining about Mr. Rice and how much of a jerk he is for heaping up our class's homework assignments. I should be a kid still! I shouldn't be forced to grow up so fast." Her voice broke. "N-none of should."
