4th December Mum example essay topic

Melissa's Diary!! Thursday 30th November Hi diary! I know you " ve been lying around since last Christmas collecting dust but I thought you were just a useless gift from Aunt Betty. Sorry, but can you blame me when the year before she got me a pack of coat-hanger covers? Ha! Bless her.

The thing is, this morning I had a really big problem and I couldn't tell Mum because it was SO embarrassing! I was getting ready for school when I realised I'd started my first period. Hunting through my cupboard to find the introductory pads Mum bought me when I was nine years old (why I'll never know! ); I came across you - my diary. Who better to tell my problems to than you! I was suddenly thanking Aunt Betty in my head and wishing I'd have been more grateful after she gave me a stripy green book (I was secretly wishing for the latest Brad Pitt movie to drool over, so I was a little shocked and disappointed!) Now I've got my first problem off my chest, I can think of a thousand more.

Boys have it easy not having the stress of what us girls carry with us every day! Like the other day, for example, I was walking home from my friend's house when I saw the boy of my dreams - Liam. I have had a crush on him since year seven and have had so many embarrassing moments in front of him. I walked all the other way round the block home to avoid another embarrassing encounter with him and was grounded by my Mum for being late! Now that is totally unfair! But I'd rather have this punishment than the encounter, so I consider myself to be let off lightly.

Saturday 2nd December The next door neighbour was poking his nose over the fence into our garden today. Don't know why. He has long hair and scares me; he looks like the sort of man that would dress up as a woman at weekends. I ran outside, took my bra (yeah it's a training bra - so what!) and knickers off the line and ran back in again. He then went back in. Hmm.

Remember to keep an eye on the weird next door neighbour guy. Monday 4th December Mum let me off with my grounding after a day, (think I got her wrapped around my little finger which is useful! Ha ha! ). She said I'd taken it well as I'd agreed to polish and dust my room, good job she never checked behind the television.

Parents are so stupid! After today though I wish I was grounded because I can't face leaving the house for at least a year! I thought today was turning out to be perfect when Liam actually made eye contact with me and started talking to me! Ok, so he only told me I had a leaf stuck to my shoe (slight embarrassment) but he must have been looking which is great.

As casually as I could, I picked off the leaf and gave him a flirty look. Suddenly, this big snowball flew across towards me and landed on the side of my head! OH MY GOD! I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. The worst thing was that Liam could not stop laughing! His laugh isn't that cute when it's me getting laughed at!

I am never going back to school; they will have to drag me there. Wednesday 6th December Targets for the day: Attack that HUGE spot on my nose (I look like a cross between Pinocchio and Rudolph!) Do an experiment on weird neighbour guy, maybe buy new flashy knickers and hang them out while he's around. Stop chewing my pencil as I daydream about becoming a famous singer where Liam falls totally in love with me and buys me flowers and chocolates every day and... oh my god! I'm doing it again! Mum's just come in and distracted my thoughts - good job really. "Your tea is ready Melissa, are you coming down dear?

"Yeah Mum, two seconds ok?"Do not be long then because it will be going cold. Well you must be hungry; I can see you have already started eating your pencil. You really must not do that dear. You will get lead poisoning", she said in her Mother knows best voice. And with that, she left the room. Looked in the mirror and saw I had a bit of pencil hanging off my lip.

Saturday 9th December Thank God it's the weekend and only 16 days till Christmas! Yeah! Not thanking the person who thought of snowballs of course. Hmm, need to wash my hair, it smells funny.

Maybe of my dog, I was laid beside him today. Never mind. Mum asked me to go to the cross-stitch club with her today (she goes on weekends), she is such a nerd. Well, brain is empty today. Keep thinking of candy floss for some strange reason... must mention a trip to the seaside to Mum. Monday 11th December I told Mum about starting my period yesterday.

She must have told Dad when I asked her not to because he tried to have the talk about 'the birds and the bees' with me today! I said to him 'Dad! I am fourteen and a half years old so stop treating me like a kid! We do learn sex education at school!' I actually think he was a bit embarrassed because he patted me on the head and walked away. I feel kind of bad for him now so might go and see if he wants a cup of coffee and some cho ccie biscuits in a minute. Besides, I've got to stay in their good books!

Mum said she was too busy to be going to the seaside anytime soon so may have to sweeten her up too. Hmm, I know she hates housework. Forget that, so do I. Guess it's no trip for me. Thursday 15th December Put my Christmas album on today to get in the mood and was grooving round my bedroom, Dad walked in as I was belting out jingle bells into my hairbrush!

I was just about to hit the high note at the end! Why me? Always making a fool of myself! Anyway, gonna get my hair cut tonight and have it curly tomorrow for school like Jennifer Lopez wore it last night on the music awards on TV. Liam LOVES Jennifer Lopez. Maybe if I go for this look he " ll be the one after me (In dream world again)!

Me and Dad went out last night for a meal, he decided he wanted to spend some quality father, daughter time together. At first I was just thinking 'I hope to god no-one sees me or I will die', but he was pretty cool. We talked about things I'd talk to my friends about! Shocking I know! Dad's not so embarrassing after all.

Friday 16th December My life is over! Got the Jennifer Lopez hair and I looked like a poodle! After hours of calming it down with hairspray and stamping my feet on the bathroom floor, I went to school feeling slightly better. Finally built up the courage to stroll into the hall at dinner as casually as I could and there was Liam kissing the most popular girl from the year above! I was so busy staring in disbelief that I walked into the tray stand and knocked all the trays flying! I felt so stupid and didn't know what to do so I just ran out as fast as I could and went to the toilet to cry.

I'm in my room now looking at my photo of Liam still crying. I hate him. This is the worst day of my life! Monday 19th December OH MY GOD! This new guy has started at our school today, he's called Josh!

How cute is that name? But not as cute as his voice - he's from London! He's in the year above and is way better than Liam. I can't believe I thought I liked him. I am SO over him.

Remember: Must pick out best outfit from wardrobe to look glam for Josh tomorrow. Must try and sort this frizzy mop out. He " ll never go out with me when I look like Pat Butcher. Buy breath mints..
