This is like a 10-year-CAF except this time it’s 6 years because the main character is not a parent, they are a teenager. In this 6-year CAF, the teenager will start out at age 13 and finish at age 19. They will still have parents but it’s in the teen’s perspective. This teenager was born to young newly married 20-year-old parents at the time of their birth. After many years of their parents saying they only felt ready for one child, the parents shock your teenager by saying they’re ready for more kids. Your teenager is happy for new siblings due to dismay over constantly being hounded by parents but is also feeling uneasy about the big changes.
Here is the namebank you may use for naming the teen, the parents, and siblings of said teen. You may also use it for any friends or dates of the teen.
