SEVENTEEN
By Sally Freer
It's Sally's seventeenth birthday and she thinks about her age as she puts on her make-up. Her parents don't seem to recognise she's growing up and still treat her as if she was a five year-old. They tell her when to be in and not to drink. She thinks once she's 18 they'll have to let her have her freedom.

Woah your like 27 now??? Did you ever get your freedom???? I'm 17 next week and I am so lucky my parents have given me all the trust and respect to do what I want since I was little. I started drinking out when I was 14 and I am still yet to let them down. xx
