| Dear George, I am afraid I can’t go to Sara’s party on Saturday. I had a long talk with my parents about going out at night. They wanted me to be home at ten. Isn’t that funny? The party begins at 9:45 pm. My parents were really worried about my safety. I said I would look after myself well, but they still thought coming home early was the best way to keep safe. I feel very sad. So I need to write to you to get this off my heart. Maybe I’ll still go to the party although I have to be home early. Love, Brianna |
| Dear Brianna, You might be surprised to hear that I had a similar talk with my parents! They wanted me to be home by eleven, so I’d only have another hour after you have to leave. We will both be sixteen next year. We aren’t kids anymore! And I told my parents that Sara was celebrating her seventeenth birthday, so most of her friends are around our age, and they can all stay until midnight. It’s so bad to have to leave a party early. I think I’ll try to talk to my mom one more time. She is usually easier to talk to about things like this than my dad. However, if nothing changes we’ll just have to listen to them. Love, George |
