Did I not tell you about the rules? *sighs* The 2:1 policy. I guess I will tell you tomorrow at school. *sighs again*
This was really short. Maybe you should write more before you post, if you are adding more. It would be a good idea to add to this. I bet you could make this really good. :D
Peanut, always, and whispering rain took care of everything else. Other than all those things, good job! :D

Only three dots, no more and no less.

Dad: I do, we do. It's just not working out between us.


Take notice of these small changes. They may seem like little things, but they are actually a very big part of writing. Especially script writing.

Girl: But still, what's not working? You loved each other a month ago. What went wrong?
Is it me, my life style? What is it?


Again, very little corrections, but you still need to pay very close attention to it.

Mom: No, no, no. It's not you or anything about you. It's just, we don't have as much in common as we used to. Plus, I can't live like this anymore.


Also, live like what? What can't she handle? You need to explain this situation more. You need to explain an arguement between the parents and then have this scene.


Girl: Well, fine! Be like that then...I don't care!


Not so many exclamation points. If she is angry and says it with rage then put that she does so out to the side of the name. Also, again with the elipse. Three dots only, please. Punctuation, grammar, punctuation, grammar. That was the main problem with this script. I really hope that this helps and I am sorry if I came off to strong. :D

An elipse is only three dots.

Dad: [s]I do[/s],--we do-- its just not working out between us.


Girl: But still, what's not working[s]...[/s]?You loved each other a month ago so what went wrong?[/s]


Mom: No no no, its not you or anything about you; its just we don't have as much in common as we used to.
Plus I can't live like this anymore.
Why can't she live like that anymore?

Girl: Well, fine, be like that then...[s]..[/s][s]I DON'T CARE[/s] [I don't care]![s]!!!!!!!!!!!![/s]


Try to not put things in caps; it hurts some members' eyes. Stuff in bold and italics are my suggestions and stuff that is crossed out doesn't need to be there--either because there's too many dots or it's in caps.

Since this is short and my first time reviewing a script, the only thing I can think of to say is to work on your grammar. Tell us why her mother can't live like that anymore. Is it because of arguements or something?

Another thing: please remember our 2:1 policy around here: two reviews for every piece of work you submit.

Sorry for sounding like the big bad wolf; I'm not, really. My name's always and welcome to YWS! I'll be glad to help you if you have any questions or anything. :)

Hey Abby. I thought this was good a few things though. 1. This seemed kinda old. What I mean is the whole Its-Not- You -It's-Me thing. Always the same. 2. The audience officially knows nothing about this family. I think I would be a good idea to add a narrator or just a short background thing. Just so they don't open the curtain and the actors are already screaming at each other. 3. Make it LONGER! Please make it longer. I want more! I really hope this helps.
