Short Stories About Coming Of Age Novels & Stories

Chapter 19 I've never had a normal childhood growing up in the world I was born into wasn't the easiest. I never got to go school and make friends my own age, my sisters and I never got to go out period Daddy always said it was too dangerous. A child of ten never understood those things. All I knew was I couldn't go out to smell the beautiful flowers or play at the park or do things that normal kids do.

Then, Jasper turned to me, scanning me warily and asked, "So, what's your story? How did you end up in a place like this?" I looked at him, pausing, but there was something about him that put me at ease. Maybe it was his charming smile, or maybe it was the genuine interest in his eyes. Whatever it was, I found myself opening up to him. I told him about my struggles, about how I had lost my job and was struggling to make ends meet. Jasper listened intently, as his expression grew sympathetic. "I grew up in a tough situation," I started, taking a gulp of my whiskey. "My parents were both gone by the time I became a grown teenager. My mom left when I was just a kid, and my dad... well, he just

I just let my tears freely flow from my eyes as I told them my story. As I told them my first ever babysitting job I got when I was eleven, my very first kiss, the every fight me and my mother quarrel about which is about me going to college and spending my savings for a goddamn course that she said I wasn’t fit for. I told them about Jordan and my job at Maine, my first sex and the first time I feel liberated and unchained from the so-called family who adopted me. Minutes turned to hours as I just narrated my heart-wrenching story. Melissa and Rowena just vivaciously listen to my whine and tales, my rant and my longings.

It is the tale about the continuation of one's dream and desire. But my desire to become a grown up as quickly as it could be to help Grandma and not at all burden to her is just a penny of desire that no one or thing can afford just for the sake of becoming real, only the time itself has the power to makes me a grown up. Have a family and not at all feel alone when Grandma lose interest on me and just write her tale that no one have paid attention but the children on my age. I hate being a child, but how can I not wish it to finally over.

I says as a tear slips down my face. "Alex, honey. I'm going to tell you a story. Okay?" She asks and I nod. She pulls me towards her and I lay my head on her lap like a little girl would with her mother. "I had just turned 16. I was walking home from school one day and I decided to take the shortcut home.The shortcut went through the forest and my parents told me never to go in there by myself. I didn't listen though. Something told me that I just had to take that route. As I was walking along the little path, something caught my eye. There was a boy. He was swimming in the lake. I had been watching him through the trees before he caught me. Elijah was very, very handsome for a boy of his a

“Well since I turned eighteen I was no longer welcome to stay at the orphanage and I failed to secure a job that would feed me and shelter me. I managed to find a seat at the community college but the post of Teaching Assistant which I had pinned all my hopes on was given to someone else rendering me homeless. I had nowhere else to go, so I guess I decided to take shelter in the forest. I was foolish enough to get close to the stream at night, which I realized too late and when I tried to run I was…” I stopped. Would she believe me if I told her that I had seen giant wolves in the forest? who had ever heard of wolves taller than five feet? She would probably think that I am crazy after hitti

It attracted quite a great deal of customers as I did what i did so well. I was more than nineteen years old now and a mother. It wasn't easy for a young girl like me to take care of a child but whenever I looking at her face, it gave me a reason to wake up every morning and strive meticulously and not to give up. I thought about school from time to time and although there was no possibility of me returning to school for now, but I had it at the back of my mind. "Ahh, blossom didn't go to school today? Muna asked as she came by the shop. She had become a close friend of mine as she worked In the same eatery I formerly worked in. She was older than me with almost two years and treated me like

Well, I could ditch the rules, I guess. “I spent the first fifteen years of my life in a small house at the edge of town, isolated from human society and seeing only the woman who raised me and an occasional passerby. When I tell people what my childhood was like, they always seem to pity me. However, I’ve learned that my childhood is my childhood. It’s my story, and just because I haven’t lived as broadly as others doesn’t mean I haven’t lived as deeply either. So, there’s nothing wrong with your story, Millicent.” I smiled at her and enveloped her in another hug. She returned it, hugging me. We sprung apart and heard a knock at the door. Millicent went to get it while I took a seat at the

He moved through lives like a chameleon, changing colours whenever necessary, slipping unnoticed into new surroundings, blending so perfectly into the background that people never realised he had been there until afterward. Aunt Gracie used to recite a poem to me when I was small—a horribly politically incorrect little rhyme called Ten Little Indian Boys. It began innocently enough: ten little Indian boys going out to dine, but one choked himself and then there were nine. The verses continued relentlessly. One overslept. One was stung by bees. Another got swallowed by fish. Others were mauled by bears or chopped in half, until eventually only one remained. Alone. I felt like that final littl

"He always has an excuse." "He doesn't know I'm only seven diary pages away from leaving him." "I got my period today, and the cramps were so bad I couldn't get out of bed. Dexter came home and brought me some painkillers without me asking." "He said it was the same kind he'd gotten for Brianna last time. She said they worked great, so they'd probably help me too." "I said thanks, but no thanks." "One page left. Then I'm done." The last page had only two lines.
