Dear Mom and Dad,

I will go to Alice’s home with her after school, and I will have supper and sleep there. Don’t    21    about me. You know that Alice is one of my    22   friends. If you want to talk with me, you can    23    68610598 after 6:00 pm.

Please forgive me for not telling you first. I don’t think you will    24  me to do so if I tell you first.   25   I think teenagers should be allowed to stay at their friends’ houses sometimes. I am sixteen years old and I’m not a little kid    26  . I hope I can make decisions for    27   .

At home, there are too many   28   for me to obey: Don’t stay out so    29   ; don’t have meals before    30    hands; don’t watch TV without finishing homework, etc. Parents should be    31    teenagers, but we need freedom, too.

I don’t like doing my homework    32    at home. I’d love to study    33    Alice. We can learn a lot from each other.    34    please allow me to stay at Alice’s house once a week. If you    35   , Alice can stay at our house with me, too.

                                                                                        Yours,

Lillian
