Adolescence: a stage in every person's life, a stage in which making mistakes and learning from them is just a step to getting closer to maturity. A step to getting closer to knowing the real world that is awaiting you. However what happens when a foolish mistake is made and before you know it you are put in a situation in which now your sanity is put into line? The book "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson is such an emotional and touching story; narrating the days of a girl whose life was torn due to a horrible action but still explaining the roots to why it is important to think over what you do very carefully, otherwise the consequences could take the course of your life for the worst.
Now a days when a parent thinks about his/her child growing up what worries them the most is the teenage hood. It is not to blame, because this is the age in which future adults will be able to make mistakes but still over come them and get a lesson from such. When I was done reading the book the only thing that I was sure of was that there was nothing wrong by the fact that she went to the party. However the stupid error that she did was start drinking, beer after another. If she would of thought about the consequences before doing this she could have prevented herself all that misery that she experienced in her freshman year.
Even though Melinda had made a horrible mistake, many talented and achieved people have fallen under this trap as well. People such as Lindsay Lohan a very talented and gifted girl but whose actions made her talent fade, giving an image of irresponsibility to the public eye. It is very sad to see this because it is a fact that she could have gone so far and obtained so many things but all of this is now just a dream. However if she puts her act together and embraces this error, putting it behind her she will be able to take control of her life once again.
Being free and in control may seem the perfect thing for everyone, and it is. However by having all this freedom that is now given to you what makes all of this ideal is to be able to be in control in almost every circumstance. To have this you must always, think about the action and the outcomes of your deeds otherwise, like Melinda your world may turn upside down.

Creative Story! #3
As the sun is rising up to the majestic sky, I see the birds flying towards the endless horizon. A feeling of happiness is spreading through my veins could this be real or is it just a dream? Finally for the first time in five years Belinda Lombardi would finally reunite with her family; after being sent to a prestigious boarding school in England at the age of 13.
While laying in their warm and soft beds, Belinda and her best friend Carla; staring at their breath taking panorama, were discussing the upcoming event that would change the life of loving Belinda.
"Oh Belinda, I feel so happy for you!" Carla said with such an exciting high pitched voice.
" I have been counting the days, hours, and minutes now I feel as if my whole body has been electrified by a lighting bolt! The anxiety is killing me! I can’t believe that in exactly 2 hours and 30 minutes I will at last reunite with my loving parents."
"Well, what are you waiting for let's go! You need to get ready!!"
Immediately Belinda and Carla jumped up from their beds and rushed over to Belinda's glamorous vanity.
"Too bad that in 2 hours and 30 minutes there will also be an unpleasant surprise waiting for you Belinda." Silvana thought while jealously watching Carla comb Belinda's ultra-long locks. The thing about Silvana is that ever since she was 13 years old and Belinda had arrived to the boarding school she magically seemed to enchant everyone with her beauty and sparkly personality. She hated her, hated her long river of golden hair, and her gorgeous amber eyes that stroked through any soul.
Though it seemed as if Belinda lived a perfect happy life, deep down there was still a hole in her heart that just could not heal . Ever since her parents had sent to her to England to supposedly "Expand her education" she felt as if they no longer loved her, no longer desired her company , and no longer wanted her in their lives. As if they were sick of her, irritated of her presence, or annoyed just at her sight. This destroyed her, but now that she knew that they wanted to see her again overfilled her with joy!
