Things Worsen
Things at home were not getting any better for the teen. Her father had grown cold and distant toward her. One day he said, “I want you to drop out of school,” he was serious.
Lisa was shocked. How could her father not want her to have an education? “ Dad, you can’t be serious?”
Her father looked embarrassed, “I’m serious, you’re starting to show, and I don’t want any questions. Listen, or I’ll send you away.”
