Declaration of Independence

Katy's "Declaration of Independence", which I believe she wrote around 13 or 14 years old. She insisted I sign it (how funny):

Preamble:
Even though my parents have taught me almost everything I know, I think it's time to be on my own now. I still want to have trade options and negotiations. I hope we can still keep the peace.

Declaration of Natural Rights:
On top of the rights to life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness, all children should be treated equally.

All children need shelter, food, drink, responsibility, respect, freedom, & most importantly, Love. Children also have the right to stability, guidance, security, & privacy.

List of Grievances:
I have suffered an intolerable amount of wrongs. I haven’t had enough love, attention, respect, or freedom.
I have gotten grounded for too many things & I’m not allowed to drive.
I also think my curfew is too short.

Resolution of Independence by Me:
I, the representative of myself, do, in the name, and the authority of the good me, solemnly publish & declare, that I am, & have the right to be free & Independent. I am absolved from the allegiance to my parents.
I want to reserve the right to conclude peace, establish commerce, & do all other acts & things which Independent people have the right to do.
