1.proud to be a teenager.
dissatisfied with many aspects of her life
optimistic about her future
annoyed by her mother's strict rues
2.my skin has betrayed me
my room is too small for me
they will sing sad melodies
I should have been on Math Team
3.is determined to be independent
feels frustrated by her math scores
craves attention from her mother
has closed the door on her problems
4.is angry because her son misbehaves
doesn't understand why her son is so restless
is filled with grief because her son has died
accepts that change is part of growing up
5.as tensely strong as the tennis racket he grips
intermittent impulses, quickly sated
Wailing guitars weave a cocoon
Surliness is his knife
6.teenagers are messy and inconsiderate
It's impossible to communicate with a surly teenager
leaving childhood behind is hard for parents and teens
parents of teens are too nagging and protective
good luck :) ^) :)
