With the worst premonition, she reads it with trembling hands:

>

> It is with great regret and sorrow I'm telling you that I eloped with my

new boyfriend.

>

> I found real passion and he is so nice, with all his piercings and

tattoos and his big motorcycle. But it is not only that mom, I'm

pregnant and Ahmed said that we will be very happy in his trailer in

the woods.

>

> He wants to have many more children with me and that's one of my dreams.

>

> I've learned that marihuana doesn't hurt anyone and we'll be

> growing it for us and his friends, who are providing us with all the

cocaine and ecstasies we may want. In the meantime, we'll pray for the

science to find the AIDS cure, for Ahmed to get better, he deserves

it.

>

> Don't worry Mom, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of

myself.

>

> Some day I'll visit, for you to know your grandchildren.

>

> Your daughter, Judith

>

> PS: Mom

>

> it's not true. I'm at the neighbor's house. I just wanted to show you

that's

> in my desk's drawer...I love you!
