wants. She never helps at home and I have to help with cooking, washing up and cleaning. It is not fair. She is allowed to wear make up and jewelers. If I put jewelers on, my Mum says I have to take it off because I am too young. My sister and I both go to the same school. I usually get better results than she and she never does her homework. She has got a boyfriend who rides a motorbike. She is not allowed to go on it. I have seen her in town with him on the motorbike. I am more sensible than she is but I am not allowed to have a boyfriend.

I am so unhappy.
