Lily's Road

Once upon a time there was a young girl who goes by the name Lily. This girl always felt out of place with her own kind. She always tried to make herself fit in by always following what other people did. When she was younger she always did what her parents told her to do. They always wanted her to be perfect like she was their robot. So without any arguments she did exactly that. She would go to school come home and did that same routine for years. As she grew older her parents knew that their little girl would be all grown up soon and have to understand the meaning of love and life. They couldn’t keep her away from the world any longer. It was like an urge for her to go out into the real world and meet new people and understand new and exciting things. When she hit her teenage years that’s when Lily finally realized that she couldn’t keep her feelings hiding. She started junior high and started to make friends. She was still doing what her parents told her to do but not so much anymore. She made some new and exciting people. Her parents started to get nervous and scared because they didn’t want their little girl to grow up. They wanted to keep her hidden from the world so she wouldn’t have to experience pain, jealousy, envy, greed. They thought they were trying to protect her but they weren’t, in order to be a human being you have to go through those stages in life to understand how to deal with certain situations. Lily knew it was time to put her foot down and say something to both of her parents. She told them that it’s not fair that other kids can have fun but she can’t. Teenagers shouldn’t be put to work like Lily was, and she finally stop up for herself. When high school rolled around the corner, Lily started to rebel a little. She hung out whenever she wanted to, came and went as she pleased, and also started hanging out with the wrong crowd. As the days turned into months Lily started getting bad grades and didn’t even go to class. She couldn’t see it like her parents did so they sat her down and spoke to her about it. She did what every normal teenage would do, she ignored them and went about her business like she has been. She was blind by what the influence of her new friends had on her. Her parents then transferred her to a private school because they had enough. They didn’t want to see their little girl go down that path they were petrified of. When Lily started her knew school she was nervous and afraid to meet new people but she had to do it. When she started her new school the people there were extremely nice they included her in everything and this was new for her because she had never met anyone who was that nice to her. Her grades started going back up and her parents told her that they were going be a little easier on her since she has been making extremely good progress. As she grew up she has matured in ways nobody would think of and she became that young women that her parents are very proud of her.
