I would rather spend a weekend with my friends. I am now fifteen years old and have spent all of my life with my family. My parents have placed new trust in me do go out with friends, and I intend to use this new found privilege. I like spending time with friends. Now that I’m in high school I have new friends. We share the same interests and even if we don’t we have a lot of fun together. I would rather spend a weekend with them; I still have a lifetime to spend with family. My family love and care about me, I understand that but I would rather be out with my friends. My family have known me for as long as I’ve been alive but it is difficult to have something to talk about all the time with them. My sister is nine and extremely annoying, she always starts fights with me and gets me into trouble with my mum and dad, I would rather spend as little time as possible with her. Don’t get me wrong I love my family, we have some great times together but I’m in the stage of my life were they can get really annoying and don’t understand that some things they do can be irritating, they don’t understand that we don’t have the same things in common anymore and I have other and new interests and need to spend time with people my own age. I see my family every day after school we talk and have a laugh over dinner, but it isn’t the same as when I spend time with friends, my friends are awesome, they understand what I’m going through, most of us just want to spend time together and we have all been getting in more and more fights with our family. In conclusion I would rather spend a weekend with my friends rather than my family. I am very close with my friends. I am even closer with my family which means my family should understand that I want to spend time with my friends. I should be allowed to go out with my friends whenever I like. I need to spend time with people my age; I’ve had a lifetime with my family and need to start being with people I have the same age.
