I am not 21. I am not old enough to drink, but that hasn’t stopped me. I am not 18. I am not an adult but that hasn’t stopped me from acting like one. I am not 16. I can not drive. That hasn’t stopped me. I am 14 years young. Just a little kid compared to my 93 year old great-grandma, and an old person to my 3 year old cousin. This proves every person sees you differently. That guy who I walked by on the street who looked me up and down but continued to walk by, or the guy who followed me to the mall because he thought I was cute. They each have a different thought about me. The guy on the street could of just thought my outfit was cute, and the guy who followed me too the mall might of just wanted to be friends. This proves I don’t know their story either. That smile on my face is misleading. The smile on my face is what makes me cry at night, its what hides my weaknesses. Its my sheld, protecting me from my reality. My friends and my family don’t even know whats going through my mind. They don’t know how much their words hurt me.
The fact that people can be so mean disgusts me. Those people don’t know me. They don’t know why I am this way. One time I sat with girl who had two bad kidneys. She was having a rough day from the medication she was taking. She was just standing in the hall way crying. I walked up to her and gave her hug. Then her and I sat down next to each other, she was quiet. But stopped crying. Then another girl came up to her and said “My brother doesn’t like you.” Can you just imagine what is going through this girls mind right now. After a long hard day of just crying someone came up to you and said I don’t like you and they had no reason to say that. I was so mad. People do not deserve to be treated like that. This poor girl can not help the was she is. She was born like that and nobody should have to change to get somebody to like them.

Hi juliarose, this is an
Hi juliarose, this is an honest, heartfelt piece of writing. All those legal ages bring so many barriers and frustrations, despite their good intentions. Welcome to ABC tales, will look forward to reading more of your work. Your piece just needs another proof read for punctuation, plus the odd word is missing.
