You Think You Know

Mohamed Sheriff

In the story You Think You Know But You Don’t Really Know, a fifteen-year-old school girl tries to be like her smart well-dressed best friend, who always has new clothes, shoes and bags, and quickly gets into very serious trouble. Chatting about Teenage Pregnancy, an informational piece, provides useful lessons about the harmful consequences of teen-age pregnancy. The poem The Gift warns that, although children are gifts, they can be a burden if born from unwanted pregnancies.
