Do you know of any 8-10 minute ';tear jerker'; monologues for a teenage girl?

I'm in the forensics club at my school and this year I'm going to participate in the Dramatic Interpretation category. I'm looking for a 8-10 minute monologue, that will really bring my audience to tears.


Do you know of any 8-10 minute ';tear jerker'; monologues for a teenage girl?
Actually I don't have a monologue for you but I'm reading a book called: My Sister's Keeper about a teenage girl who was conceived only to be a stem-cell/bone marrow match etc for her sister who has leukemia. The premise is that she doesn't want to donate anything anymore because it's so painful and never ends. Each chapter tells the point of view of those involved. It's really well written and I'm only near the start and have wanted to cry about 5 times so far! The first chapter is the teenage girls and it's brilliant, but you'd need to edit it to include the premise. Personally I'd be blown away to see it played out and keep picturing the chracter like Juno, if you know that film.Do you know of any 8-10 minute ';tear jerker'; monologues for a teenage girl?
I'm a speechie too!!!!! It is so exciting to meet one of my own! As far as a monologue try ';My Mother's Touch';. A girl on my team did it last year and it might not make people cry but it definitely brings forth great emotions. It is about a girl whose mother hates her a lot!!! Her mother won't even touch her because she never wanted to have her.
8-10 minutes? You might have to check books. But here's one that might work.
