II. Read the letter below by Debbie
I really feel like living home but I’m only fifteen. My mum and dad are so
strict, they won’t let me any of the things my friends do. For example, on a
Saturday evening everyone goes to the disco but my parents say I have to be
home by nine o’clock and the disco doesn’t finish until twelve. It’s really
unfair and everyone laughs at me and calls me a baby.
Also my mum goes into my bedroom when I’m at school and I’m sure she
looks though my things. When I ask her not to she says it’s not my house and
I’m too young to have a private life.
They treat me as if I’m still a child and won’t trust me to do things on my
own. I want to get a job on a Saturday but they say I have to do homework,
then help look after my younger brother. If they won’t change I’m going to
run away and they’ll be sorry…
