Nothing Much To Complain About -Nilsa

So, it's High School time, and I find myself with... normal high school problems. I'm fighting with my mom, two of my friends like the same guy, I'm worried about my grades... I'm used to having these weird, ridiculous problems worth sharing. I mean it's not like my life is perfect, but unlike last year it's nothing to write a depressing, look-how-much-my-life-sucks teenage girl novel. I'm a bit upset because I've had to turn down plans, and see friends less because of my mom. I expected more freedom, being in high school and living so close to the school that I spend at least 12 hours a day lurking around. As it turns out, she won't even let me walk to school by myself anymore. She wants me to have this escort service of friends, thus giving me a false sense of security while walking the mile to school. Honestly I'm probably safer on my own than with my friends. Doesn't she know what kind of crazy stuff we'll do out on our own? I love being with them, and of course I'd rather walk to school with those amazing, insane people than on my own, but I'm not gonna make them go out of their way just so that I can escape my mom for 10 minutes more of the day.
