educaton now, babies later

I'm Sitting at home, Holding a baby that's crying hysterically, who just so happens to not be mine.
He's my younger brother, and also watching 4 other ones. Sometime I wonder if I was born to baby-sit the 52-thousand other children my parents would later have. I've been doing this since I can remember. Its ridiculous. I'm only fifteen. I haven't given birth to not one child, so why am I stuck at home every Friday night instead of hanging out with other cool kids like a normal teen? That's because I was born African. My parent feel like they rule me. I try to go somewhere and they say its not cool because they dont want people to know me as their daughter that's never home and is always out with her friends. Can't I live "MY" life? I mean it is mine afterall right? Or is it? I don't know. Oh and another thing that really ticked me off was that I was planning for a long time to join the track team but ol' sweet mother of mine tried to say that I can't do it because she's going back to work and my dad also works so WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? YEAH! NO BABYSITTER! But i dont care man, I need to live my life now, take care of kids later. If your going to be a parent you need to realize what your signing up for and not expect someone like me to take care of your children. So next time, think about that mother and father.
