For all teenagers. What do you think of my writing?

You can read the first chapter here, in this link.

here’s the second chapter.
chapter2.
Mom left without telling me goodbye. She eyed me for a moment and i smiled at her. I wanted to hug her.

" mom," I held her hand, " you’ll come again, right?"

She didn’t reply. she just pulled her hand from between my fingers and went into the elevator with her personal sack in her hand. I was alone once again.

Aftre half an hour, Dad came into the living room and switched off the tv. He looked angry. His eyebrows arched up, wrinkling his forehead and the sides of his lips went down as if he was in disgust.

" why did you switch it off?" i said, " i was watching."

I lied. The tv hummed infront of me, while my mind wondered of, posing questions like " where will mom go? Will i ever see her again?" " Will she ever call me?" I couldn’t answer any of them.

" we’re leaving," Dad said, collecting some of his socks from around the living room and throwing them in his sack. "get ready, we have no time."

" where?" I ran at Dad, smiling. " we’ll bring mom back, right?"

Dad sighed. " no," he said, " we’re going to granny."

I hated Granny. In her last visit, two weeks ago, she sprayed me with spit, as she spoke of her three husbands, who all abandoned her for her bad food. I didn’t care, i just wanted to have some pennies from her, so i pretended to be interestted in what she said. My face twitched and my eyes widened whenever she spoke of herslef. Eventually, my acting skills brought me four chillings. " here you go Noah, " she said, " Who loves granny?"

" Noah…" I yelled and ran away to buy some spiderman comics with the labouriously gained money.

On our way to Granny i turned on my favorite tape, mozart music. It was really uplifting. I laid my head back and sniffed at the cool summer air.

I hoped that Dad would share me this moment. I turned my head at him. " Do you like to smell the air?" I said, " It’s really nice when you smell the air while being in a car."

Dad pulled out his lips, looked at me briefly and said, " no, I don’t like to smell the air."

His voice was so straight and low. I felt like he didn’t want to reply like always, so i swallowed my other question.

By the end of the journey to Granny’s house, my red hair was all a mess around my head. It stuck out in thorn like spikes. Mom used to tell me when i was younger that i inherited my hair from her brother, uncle Tom. Although i’ve seen uncle tom once in my life, I found him to be a really nice guy. He liked mozart and beethoven like me. I really wished to meet him again and ask him to convince mom to come back home.

After Dad brought his leather sack out of the car, we stepped into granny’s wet garden. A newly planted beach stood at one corner.

This beach reminded me of school. Under Mrs. Greens window there grew a tall, leafy beach. On the first day of school, some years ago, I had a fight with a chubby kid called, Jackson. jackson’s mother worked as a math teacher in school, so he took the liberty of thrashing anyone who didn’t do him what he wanted. He asked me to bring him, some water from the cantine, but i shook my shoulders and walked away. " go bring them yourself," I said. And to my regret, Jackson’s face went red and he started smashing my face against the trunk of the beach. Since that day, whenever i saw a beach my nose would start to ach, just like now.

Dad rang the bell and after some minutes, i heard granny’s voice yelling from behind the door. " who’s there, I don’t want milk today."

" it’s John mama," dad said, " open up."

"ohh johny." The door flung open and granny stepped forward, hugging dad with quavery arms. After giving dad his share of wet kisses, she bowed at me and crashed me between her arms. " i missed you to noey,"

We went in. As i walked into the living room, i thought of how lonely granny might feel sometimes. the silence that filled the house, even in daytime, was so bad that it might push you to cry without being sad.

I tried not to pass over the the sheets of piano that scattered all over the living room. They were so precious in my own opinion. I took off my shoes and started collecting them. As i was collecting some pieces from under the window, I noticed a lonely piece of sheet music, left alone at one corner beside the sofa. I held it up and read. " Moonlight sonata." wow. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Ohh you’d be wondering right now why i would be interessted in sheet music, right? Ohh. I could play the piano.

Since the age of four, Dad sent me on daily basis to granny. She taught me how to play the piano. my skills as a piano player grew, but my passion for it was so strong. Dad refused to buy me a piano, he said that it was very expensive, besides i need to focus much more on my studies rather than the piano. So, in subst

Your grammar is appalling. It’s "I" not "i", "I’ve" not "i’ve" etc… When saying "I" as yourself it’s always a capital letter. Never small letter. Also. When starting a " <– It’s a capital too.

Spelling was awful. I suggest a spell checker next time.

Sorry but I am being HONEST here.

I do like the amount of content. That’s really good. Nice long story line not a simple "Hi. I’m Jake. The END!"

The assignment: "In the modern world, first impressions are more important than ever. What is your appearance telling others about you, and is it true? Identify which of the typical high school stereotypes you fit into (jock, nerd, prep, etc.) based on your clothing, music, and extracurricular activities, then compare typical assumptions about this stereotype to your own personality."

I have no idea what stereotype I fit into.

My clothing:
-pants: mostly colored skinny jeans (I’ve got purple, electric blue, black, gray, normal blue denim, and hot pink. On the lookout for yellow :])
-skirts: knee-length, flowy, patterned skirts (like the ones they sell at Forever 21.)
-dresses: knee-length, flowy, and patterned again! A lot of times I wear dresses to school with t-shirts underneath and sneakers.
-shirts: mostly graphic tees in bright colors. Some have ’save-the-world’ or peace sort of sayings/pictures on them, but for the most part it’s just like a bright shirt with a random bright graphic on it. Sometimes I wear tank tops with jackets, but mostly tees.
-jackets: zip-up hoodies, patterned (zebra print that fades blue to purple to pink to white, gray with hot pink paint-splattered-ness, music notes, like that.)
-shoes: converse (black high tops, yellow low tops, gray low tops, used to have clear low tops but they’re so worn out I’m not allowed to wear them anymore.), ballet flats. If I wear heels (which is not often. I’m 5′8" and feel like an amazon in heels.) they’re either these red ones with white polka dots and bows, or these ones that are half black half white (black outside half, white inside half.)
-accessories: always wear 2 peace sign necklaces and about 8 peace/friendship/duct tape/hemp bracelets. Sometimes brightly colored big bead bracelets/necklaces, stud earrings. I like patterned tights (like as in fishnett-ish-ness woven into patterns, not like printed on). I always wear a hair bow or ribbon of some sort (one day I didn’t and people kept asking if I’d gotten a haircut haha.) My nails are usually painted hot pink and/or black, usually patterned somehow (striped, checkered, etc.)
-an outfit I would absolutely love: http://www.polyvore.com/love_this/set?id=6606765
-an outfit I have and do absolutely love: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/app
-hair: it’s very very curly (little ringlets.) and I leave it that way. About shoulder length, and I’ve got side bangs (like not the type with a side part then the bangs, like no part and bangs like the sort most girls have in elementary across the whole fron but longer and like to my lips so I sweep them over to the side). My hair’s brown, and I’ve never dyed it.
-makeup: does chapstick count?

My music:
-Cobra Starship
-Bayside (they are amazing. Probably my favorite band. Look them up!)
-Queens of the Stone Age
-once in a while Fall of Troy, depending on my mood
-Ludo
-Led Zeppelin
-AC/DC
-Pink Floyd
-Nevershoutnever!
-Wolfmother
-mostly rock and alternative, I guess.

Extracurricular activities:
-MUSICAL THEATER.
-voice lessons
-dance (mostly ballet, but this year I’ve started tap and musical theater dance)
-acting
-activism (I’m into a group at my school helping raise money/awareness for the war in Northern Uganda and supporting a school over there, and I’m big into peace rallies/marches/all that, raising awareness, supporting causes however I can.)
-I write songs. a lot. but I haven’t told anyone because I’m pretty much sure they’ll hate my songs and make fun of me, and I just don’t really want to deal with that.
-piano (not well yet, just started this year.)
-trying to teach myself guitar.

So, how would you stereotype me?

:] thanks a lot!

Im not reading all that, but with the electric blue, and yellow skinny jeans you sound like a scene kid

we were tough!?

posted by Andrew Moller

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE

1920’s, 30’s 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer.

Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or shoes, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a Ute on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

Take away food was limited to fish and chips, no pizza shops, McDonalds, KFC, Subway or Red Rooster.

Even though all the shops closed at 6.00pm and didn’t open on the weekends, somehow we didn’t starve to death!

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We could collect old drink bottles and cash them in at the corner store and buy fruit tingles and some crackers to blow up frogs with.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soft drinks with sugar in it, but we weren’t overweight because……

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. We built tree houses and cubby houses and played in creek beds with matchbox cars.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo’s, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms……….WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
Lawsuits from these accidents.

Only girls had pierced ears!

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

You could only buy Easter Eggs and Hot Cross buns at Easter time…….no really!

We were given BB guns and sling shots for our 10th birthdays,

We rode bikes or walked to a friend’s house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!

Mum didn’t have to go to work to help dad make ends meet!

Footy had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn’t had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

Our teachers used to belt us with big sticks and leather staps and bulliesalwaysruled the playground at school.

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.They actually sided with the law!

Our parents got married before they had children and didn’t invent stupid names for their kids like ‘Kiora’ and ‘Blade’

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!

The past 70 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned

HOW TO

DEAL WITH IT ALL!

And YOU are one of them!

CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.

And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn’t it?!
PS -The big type is because your eyes are shot at your
