Don't

Dana McIntyre is the fifteen year old tomboy

“Love,” the word escapes from my lips in a sarcastic tone. It is an emotion I am going to avoid like all hell. I am afraid of it and what it can do to me. I am not interested in heartbreak-- or pain.

Oh no! Love is not for me.

Kimberly Watts is the family outcast

I look at my mother in confusion. I want to tell her everything, but I’m afraid. How will she react to the truth? I am so tired of being judged.

Oh no! Not another fight.

Tarah Evans is the beautiful little liar

Am I really conceited? Do I only care about myself? Is Darryl, my latest boy crush, right about me? I want to cry, but instead I walk into my bedroom and grab my white teddy bear.

Oh no! I can’t face him again.

Being fifteen isn’t easy. Just ask Dana, Kimberly and Tarah. They’ll tell you the absolute truth. Boys are cute, but very unpredictable. High school is one huge boring obstacle course of dos and don’ts.

And, parents are definitely far more challenging than taking an honor's class.
