Don't Fence Me In

The middle school time was spent growing fast and working out thatpecking order. Sometimes they felt like all the other girls were againstthem,  like they were always getting picked on.  It was a difficult time forthem.   Each seems to be comfortable with her place now and they aremoving on.They are big girls now.  Big enough to run loose with the older girls. They are ready for the move to high school.Yeah, they have more freedom.  They can go wherever they want but they have a curfew.  They must be in bed by dark.They are feeling more relaxed.They are more daring like the older girls.They try new things and different personalities just like the high school girls.They make new friends.Soon they will be picking up bad habits from the older girls. They will be crossing the driveway and digging in the gardens. I just know it.  I have seen it all before.
