This person that was normally a lot like Paula Deen ( the way she talks , the way she cooks , & the way she moves her hands ) was in the process of having a nervous breakdown . The worst part of it was , she refused any & all help when it came to visiting the doctor and/or considering taking some medication to " calm her nerves " . This woman was off her rocker , looney ! My sister had warned me : she even told me about the crazy arse crap that the step - mother was saying .
Answer the following question: Why did some people stay away from the woman mentioned ?

She was unhinged .

We both paused , our hearts racing not even daring to breathe incase they heard us . Then we heard them start to whisper again and we knew they would n't check into the noise further as I let out a silent sigh of relief . I felt Pete gently tug at my shirt , and as I turned to look at him he pointed towards the back of the shed and motioned for me to follow him .

I am trying to sneak around , undetected .

But I met him . Devin . I ended up agreeing to go out with him and I wore a little khaki skirt for our first date and I called him every night and I played out the relationship like it was 1958 and our parents were always in the other room . I do n't know why it lasted as long as it did .
Answer the following question: Why do you think I played the relationship in the manor that I described ?

Because I really did not want it to go very far , and was surprised it did .

But it 's okay , I experienced something that taught me a lesson and I think it was not only for me but for my classmates also . Identity vs. Confusion In this stage , I am now exploring the world .
