life they say is not always rosy I realized that a little too late. I was a girl that believed in the good part of life, like what do you expect from a girl that is always home. my parents believe a child has no reason to be the outdoor type, they should always be at home, reading, playing in fact all activities should be done in the four corners of the house.my life changed when I got to university and had to adapt without my parents intervention. At first it was really a bad thing, as I don't know what to do nor do I know how to go about things without my parents.But as the saying goes, when you are in Rome you behave like the romans.Things started going well a few months away from them ,as I started doing things like those living around me. I copied their style of living and things they do, I believed I was really blessed when my roommate was studying the same course with me. we were both studying law.why am I studying law? I don't know all I know is my parents want me to be like them, as they were very good barristers. My dad was known to never lose a case,and my mom was one of the most paid lawyers in town.life in the University introduced me to a different lifestyle which later led me to a few questions about the choices that I made.Had I known I would have done something better, i would have questioned some lifestyle I believed was the right thing to do, I would have shut some voices around me.my name is Anita George and this is my story

Chapter 1
As usual I am back in my parents almost empty villa.I am the only child of my parents, I have no siblings apart from my nanny, I have no one to interact with. my parents are not always available I only see or talk to them during weekends. As they were one of the most popular lawyers in town, their schedule is always tight and I am sure they have something to do for the next six months. I attend one of the most popular schools in Abuja, my school is known for producing top students in Nigeria. I have no friends in school, not like I have not tried,I did but we stopped being friends because of my inability to put in effort. like we stopped talking because I was not always present in our activities, more like they stop talking to me to be precise. I remember Abigail and Priscilla, they were my friends during my early stage in senior school. I remember us during everything together In fact they encourage people to talk to me more often, but our friendship didn't last, as I am not always allowed to visit them during weekends, and we have activities we do during weekends like visiting the zoo eating out going to park for picnic and the likes but i am not allowed to partake because my parents believed all friendship should end in school, activities like that should be a family thing. not like they ever have time for me, not more of experiencing such activities with them. and they are not allowed to visit me also because my parents believe they is no reason for them visiting or me visiting them they don't want me to be exposed to outside world ,which they didn't take likely, and it was not long before I started hearing things about myself, that I was proud, arrogant, and I am behaving like my father is the richest among them. which is not true but who will I tell and even if I find someone ready to listen how will i be able to express myself because I am terrible at justifying things I did. mind you, I was known to be Mama's girl. As my parents don't joke with me, especially my mom I was spoilt rot like my nanny will always say. during our fun time in the play grounds.my parents get me thing I want, and my mom known to be the extra loving mother that she is get thing that I don't need, like toys more than enough snacks makeup kit and the likes.I get things at the comfort of my room is it money, cars, yes cars not toy my parents buy extravagant cars in my name, toys yes toys and mind you I am sixteen already, I don't think a ten year old kid have the amount of toys I do, at times I donate them to less privileges through my nanny. To some this might be the most boring life a girl is living but to me it is the best so far as I don't get to struggle like most of my class mates do to get their things.especially those on scholarship eavesdropping on their conversation at times make me realize that life is not always rosy on all side.
