let kids be kids

There is a girl somewhere that wakes up extra early every morning, gets her siblings ready, and takes them to pr-school. Every morning she is late for school and doesn't have the soul to tell the teacher why, because she comes from a background where families are not suppose to hang their dirty linen. Everyday she sits in class her mind is occupied with what to make for supper, this then making her class session totally useless as there is no concentration.


Everyday at break time she mingles with that loud bunch- she is so social, with so many friends. Its a pity they don't hang out at all after school, because everyday she has to rush from school to get home early in order to wash those dishes, mop the kitchen floor, make all the beds, literally spring clean the family room and still make time to put something on the stove before 5pm strikes. Why, because everyday at 5pm she heads for the community pr-school to fetch her siblings. Everyday after fetching her siblings, she's back at the stove and trying to manage the quarrels of her siblings at the same time.

ner is served. Thank goodness the house is not in a state and the siblings are safe- I know her parents would have been upset if this wasn't the case. Everyday at 8pm she gives her siblings a bath and puts them to bed before she can take a bath. It is 10pm and she still hasn't attended to homework, because everyday at this time she is lieing in bed, exhausted from the days demands. YET, she goes to sleep with a smile on her face.


She is so happy, why not? She sees no wrong with the rules in her parents household, after all, it's all she knows of. EVERYDAY she wishes she could get married soon so she can be a REAL housewife. This coming from a teenager, who should be focusing on school, going out with friends, seeing the world with dreams of being a lawyer, doctor or artist, anything that lets her be a teenager. Parents please, I'm not saying don't implement rules on your kids, just make sure that they are not too harsh. Let kids be kids.

If you have a friend that you have just realized you don't know much about, PLEASE get to know them . who knows it might be the girl i wrote about. and if it is, don't make her feel stupid - no, just open up her eyes to the greater things in life the world has to offer.
To all my fellow youth ambassadors - Together we can clean the world of its impurities.

love- Bot.
