wensday responce

1.) in today's world many kids grow up way to fast.. but then there are others that just grow up as a normal kid. but then today kids also grow up around drinking and drug abuse, and sometimes i don't think that the parents think that it will influence there kids to grow up and be like then.... just like Gerald he grew up as a baby with his mom abusing drugs, but then when he went to live with his aunt when his mother was sent away.. he grew up as a normal kid not being left home alone and abused.. aunt Queen gave him all the love that he needed to grow up as a normal child...

2.) Gerald's life is different from a normal high school student because he has to go on every day worrying about his little sister Angel.... He cant go out like a normal high school student and hang with his friends with out worrying about what may happen to his little sister while he is gone, Or even thinking about what his step father may or do to Angel... while Gerald is going up he is growing up allot faster then a normal kid he is looking out for his sister as well as going to school, going to practice and bringing Angel to dance while trying to ,live his own life as well...

3.) in my life i had to take many responsibility's. In my family my brother and i are the oldest of the grand children but my brother lives in California so I'm next in line... i have about 6 younger cousins and i am always baby sitting then on weekends, and Fridays if needed... sometimes it hard because when there is only one of you and like 5 of them its harder then you think to control them... My aunts and uncles aways say that i don't have to if i don't want to but i usually always do because i would rather have my cousins with me then have them stay someplace were they don't want to be.
