16 and Definitely Not Pregnant
I applaud Gabriela Rodriguez's article because she reminds me of myself. She upholds that society is contradictory; "parents want you to be that goody-two shoes with Ivy League potential, but every teenager ...seems to be coaxing you to breaking your good-girl habits." I understand what it feels like to try to be a perfect daughter; it feels like everything you do is never good enough. It is nice to know that there are other people who feel the same way I do about this situation. I'm not missing out on anything by not partying or "turning up," I know what I want in life and I'm not going to achieve it by doing any of those things. Thank you Gabriela for sharing your experiences.
