Essay About My Little Girl

736 Words3 Pages

Being the only girl in my family had been tough for a seven year old. Especially if you have two older brothers who like to tease you. My brothers always called me the treacherous “girly-girl” name I hated with a burning passion. So, to make my brothers stop calling me the name, I became a tomboy. At least, until my little sister was born. Finally, the day came when my mom said “You’re going to have another little brother or sister!” As soon as those words left her mouth, I knew it would be a girl. As time went on, I found myself correct because on the day of March 22, 2007 my little sister, Carlee, finally appeared in my life. After being taught to walk and talk, she turned me into an immense girly-girl. Repeatedly playing dolls, dress up, painting our nails or activities related to the trend girls at that age found enjoyable to do. …show more content…

If you would’ve asked me in person I probably would say something like “It’s not any different from when I was experiencing it. It’s becoming tedious.” But, that’s just because I don’t like expressing myself face-to-face with people. I can’t wait for her to start driving, and to go to her first high school dance, like homecoming, or to make new friends every year at school. Carlee is my best friend and there’s nothing in this whole world that would stop me from being there for my little sister when she needs me. Someday, she might actually grow taller than me. (Not likely, but a possibility.) Someday, she could be class president, or if a miracle happens, she will stop having stinky feet. Someday, she might read this and know how much she means to me and how she has changed my whole life, and many others. Although, she makes me want to pull my hair out and clench my teeth hard enough to make them crack, I wouldn't change my life back to the way it was for the world. Carlee is a paramount milestone in my life that shows a great significance for who I

  • Nonabused Children Essay

    761 Words  | 4 Pages

    Abused children often have trouble having their allegations collaborated as legal and social service investigations of abuse allegations contribute to inaccurate eyewitness accounts and false memories that make it difficult for the legal system to protect these vulnerable children (Goodman, et al., 2001). Clinicians find it hard to classify abused from nonabused children due to a lack of a psychological profile for abused children (Kendall-Tackett, Williams, & Finkelhor, 1993). When there are no other witnesses to corroborate children’s accounts, investigators often employ suggestive interviewing techniques that sometimes shape children’s false memories that build the investigators’ reports (Krackow & Lynn, 2003). Some research has found that nonabused children

In sociology, this is known as gender role socialization, which is the process of socializing boys and girls to conform to their assigned genders’ attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, values, and norms.
