                         A CRY FOR HELP OR ATTENTION?

 I am Dimpho and I am doing Gr 10 for the second time. I feel so down, my
 parents do not leave with me because they are working overseas, and they have
 left me with my grandmother from my father’s side. I feel rejected and not
 understood as my friends feel I am spoilt, I guess they base their perception of me
 on the expensive clothes I wear and the pocket money I carry as my parents send
 me more money than I need. I do not want the material things to define who I am,
 I am not aware still, of my abilities, as I have no interest in my studies, I am
 constantly making bad decisions, when my grandmother intervenes, I feel more
 rejected and down.
