A Note from the Author
The title is inspired and based on the fact that at a young age, children get compled to make adult decisions especially by their peers.
They are compled to learn to be strong and independed, no one teaches them how to face the world.
No one tells them how the world works and no one tells them how to identife face people or fake friends.
This book is based on real life events. Through this book I'm teeling my story and mainly trying to encourage people especially kids and teenagers.
This book DOES NOT ENCOURAGE children to follow in my footsteps and repeat the same mistakes I've done.
CHARACTER'S NAMES HAVE BEEN CHANGE TO PROTECT TRUE IDENTITY
Chapter 1:
Year 2012, the year I Peaches was supposed to start afresh and was supposed to be looking forward to the bright future I had going.
First year and first day in Primary School I was supposed nervous, I thought I was going to stand out, I was scared I wouldn't be able to make friends.
I badly wanted to fit in but I never tried to change myself. On my first day I got lost, I forgot where my classroom was, Akward right! that was what was going through my mind that this is super embarrasing,
I wondered what will the other kids say especially the seniors, or what if I bumped into a teacher and tell her I'm lost but how will I even tell her/him when I couldn't even speak English fluently, what if I say
a word wrong and I get laughed at. At that moment I feeled like crying or going back home to my mother but Thank Goodness! my transport driver found me and took me to my class, I was so embarrased.
I wondered what will she say when my transport driver tells her I was lost but luckily she was a very nice,fun and kind hearted teacher. I still hadn't made friends yet but the next day the teacher made
these name tags out of a green cloth, we wrote out names and the class we belong to. We had had to pin the name tags in our uniform everyday, at that time there was just one Grade R class.
In that same week I made friends, my group of friends kept growing everyday, lierally the whole class became friends in a blink of an eye.
I was close with both gender and my family knew that and no problem with that at that time. My life revolved around school and friends, I always putted my family first but I would listen more to my peers.
I was really scared I wouldn't do well in my academics but my fear didn't win, but my love for school won. I passed, actually everyone in my class passed. After all it was Grade R , you could say it's one of the
easiest grades.It was a very happy year it felt like nothing would go wrong until! year 2013 when I moved to the next grade which was a bit harder than the previous one but I loved learning new things everyday.
I was still so close with all of my friends but we were slowly drafting apart, we were being split into different but I was happy that I still had my best friend by my side who's name is Beauty. She was a very good
friend, she was quite caring and she was my very first best friend and the first person I became friends with in Primary. I would get quite jealous...
