Grade 8 Declamation

A teenage girl addresses those staring at her for being a "bad girl" who smokes, drinks, and gambles at a young age. She questions why she is labeled this way while her parents neglected her needs by entrusting her to an unintelligent caretaker and spending their time partying and gambling instead of providing her care. She argues that if her parents truly want to ensure her future and protect her from evil influences, they need to help her instead of accusing her, as their own bad behaviors are what caused her to drift away and get in trouble in the first place.

Bad Girl

Hey! Everybody seems to be staring at me..


You! You! All of you!
How dare you to stare at me?
Why? Is it because I’m a bad girl?
A bad girl I am, A good for nothing teen ager, a problem child?
That’s what you call me!
I smoke. I drink. I gamble at my young tender age.
I lie. I cheat, and I could even kill, If I have too.
Yes, I’m a bad girl, but where are my parents?
You! You! You are my good parents?
My good elder brother and sister in this society where I live?
Look…look at me…What have you done to me?
You have pampered and spoiled me, neglected me when I needed you
most!
Entrusted me to a yaya, whose intelligence was much lower than mine!
While you go about your parties, your meetings and gambling session…
Thus… I drifted away from you!
Longing for a father’s love, yearning for a mother’s care!
As I grew up, everything changed!
You too have changed!
You spent more time in your poker, majong tables, bars and night clubs.
You even landed on the headlines of the newspaper as crooks, pedlars and
racketeers.
Now, you call me names, accuse me of everything I do to myself?
Tell me! How good are you?
If you really wish to ensure my future…
Then hurry….hurry back home! Where I await you, because I need you…
Protect me from all evil influences that will threathen at my very own
understanding…
But if I am bad, really bad…then, you’ve got to help me!
Help me! Oh please…Help me!
