Question: What do you think of this 30 secone, dramatic monologue for a 14 year old!?
I got it from the book "When is Perfect, Perfect Enough!?" by Nancy Rue!. I'm 14 and I'm going to a ProScout in Dallas so that's why I need it!. If you have other specific suggestions, please tell me!!

I thought you went for a walk, Caitlin! If that's all that happened, then why don't you want me to tell our parents!? Because you're a stinkin' liar, that's why! You haven't told the truth since you were 5 years old!. You tear everybody apart!. You expect everyone to understand and let you do whatever you want, and then you dump on them - on purpose! And I'm sick of it! I'm sick of you! I hate you, and I'm not helping you!. If you want help, go to your doper friends and leave mine alone!

Is it cheesy!? Is there anyone thing I should change or edit!? Would it give me better chances if I did a comedy monologue!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Imagine!.!.!.your friend used you, they have never been good to you and you are suddenly realised how stupid you were to be nice to them in the first place!. you realize that they were never good friends and that it was time to stand up to them and let them have it!.!.!.you think over what youre going to say, look them right in the eye and tell the truth!.!.!.

Heres another great monologue for your age called "CALL OF THE REVOLUTION" by Walter Wykes!.!.!.

WOMAN: Something like this happens once in what—a hundred years!? A thousand!? Do you really expect me to stay here and change diapers!? Yes! I want to come with you! [Pause!.] Don’t be angry!. Please!. But tonight … when the sounds began … when the hammers and the axes began to fall … you were still asleep … and I suddenly understood that my husband, my children—all these things are temporary!.!.!.!. I love you very much … [She clasps his hand!.] … but can’t you hear how they are hammering out there!?! They are pounding away, and something seems to be falling, breaking apart, some kind of wall seems to be coming down—the earth is changing—and it is so spacious and wide and free! It’s night now, but it seems to me the sun is shining! I’m thirty years old and already I’m like an old woman, I know it, you can see it in my face!. And yet … tonight I feel like I’m only seventeen, and that I’ve fallen in love for the first time—a great, boundless love that lights up the sky! They’re pounding, and it sounds to me like music, like singing of which I’ve always dreamt—all my life—and I didn’t know who it was that I loved with such a boundless love, which made me feel like crying and laughing and singing! This is freedom! Don’t deny me my place—let me die with those who are working out there, who are calling in the future so bravely and rousing the dead past from its grave!

BEUTIFUL MONOLOGUE! I know it's talking about a 30y old bt thats why it's acting!
