When it comes to a teen girl who is between the ages of fifteen and eighteen, it very hard to try to get them to understand that they need to live life at the age they are, and not try to look or act older than they really are. In Connie’s case she thinks that because she is fifteen years old she knows it all, therefore her point of view and her mother’s clash all the time. There is almost a ten year difference between her sister June and herself, but since she wants to be treated like her sister she thinks that she needs to act and look as if she were older. She attempts to have a point of view like or similar to what she thinks an older and mature girl would.
