Dear Mommy and Papa,

I am writing this letter because there are few things I wish I could say
to you face to face. These are the things every teenage like me wishes that they could
tell his parents, but there are always some limitations. So here I go, there are few things
that disturb me, not about you, not by you, but life, it is not as complicated as it seems,
but for now, I feel like it hates me, I feel like it throws so much on me, which makes me
feel that I suffocate, but I know that time will flow, life will be good, and the problems I
think I am facing right now, will be nothing in front of the life I am going to have in the
future. I want you to know that there are a lot of people out there like me, people with
different interests. I try really hard, to do what you ask me to do, to top my class and
leave everyone behind. But all I can do is ‘try’. I want you to stop comparing me with
someone else. They might be ahead of me in studying, but there are things in which I
can excel, I just need some time to find it. Mom, not all my friends are my enemies. Yes,
some people ditch, while the others teach us something, either by staying with us or by
leaving us. Not everyone in the world wishes for me to drop down from the ladder I am
climbing. If so, I will learn as I grow.

I know I fight a lot with you guys, I shout, and hurt you with the things
I say. But there are times I get hurt too, by what, even I don’t know. I know you expect
me to behave like a grown up and take responsibilities, and I am ready for that, all that
is left is for you to trust me. Trust me, that I am capable of handling small and big
responsibilities. Trust me that I won’t turn out to be a bad person and daughter to you.
Please don’t give up on me, and never stop loving me. Your son will turn out to be a
gentleman, and the best person that you wanted me to be.

I will always love you.

Love,
Cassandra
