Sheila, a junior in high school, is talking to her friend Ann on the phone. Are you ready for Friday night's game? Ann asks her excitedly. I'm not going to be able to go, Sheila responds, crestfallen. My folks won't let me go out for a month. I flunked both physics and history, and they're berserk. I don't know what to think. I can't even go out with Tim, and I don't know how he's going to react.
