=** Is this //the awkward age//? **=

**“Let me alone!” I shout and shut the door of my room. My mother seems to be confused with what I am doing…..**
===** I’m Miki and fifteen years old. I have a lot of friends and am charming enough to attract other boys. Though my father died when I was five, I’m leading a happy life….No…I don’t know why but nowadays I don’t like my mother. She always cares about me and denies me nothing. However, ironically, that seems to irritate me. **=== ===** The other day, when I got out of cram cram school at night, my mother’s car was right in front of the gate to pick me up. Somehow, on finding it, I got angry and let her go home because I wanted to chat with my friends. **=== ===** I am aware that all my attitudes towards her hurt her feelings but frankly I cannot accept her kindness. Why? Is this the so-called //an awkward age//? How long does it last? But…this time, I don’t want to hurt her any more. Miki! Now is a time!! Open the door and say to her, “I’m sorry mom, I really love you.”, and she will give me a big smile as usual. **===
