My Other Sister

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay\u27s first paragraph. I know it\u27s my fault, but if it wasn\u27t for my dumb other sister Julie and stupid Matt Hayney it never would have happened. Julie\u27s sixteen and because I\u27m thirteen she thinks it\u27s all right to say I\u27m a sissy because I don\u27t smoke or because I don\u27t sleep with my mouth open on the school bus like her boyfriend Harry does. She teases me, too, because sometimes I get nervous when people make fun of me and once I had to go to the doctor about it. Even if he\u27s a couple years older than me, I wanted Julie to like me so I hung around with Matt for a while. A lot of people didn\u27t like him because he went to vocational school and stole a car once, but I didn\u27t care because Julie said he was O.K
