My parents know how to be very strict. They expect me to get good marks and start to get angry when I'm in front of the TV and not at my desk doing English or Maths. I'm only allowed to go out with friends one weekend per month. And when I go out, I always need to get home by 11.30 pm. When I'm 16, I'll ne able to stay out later they say. My parents are happy to give me pocket money. but ut's never much. But when they want me to help them with something, they ask in a nice voice. I know that other kids have more freedom to do what they want, but still, I really can't complain. Especially when I think of poor girls in other countries whose parents force them to marry men they don' know or like!
