posted the answer first
The poem describes a girl named Amanda and her mother who is nagging her for her mistakes. She is first pointed out most probably by her mother for biting her nails and for not sitting in the right posture. The mother also feels that Amanda sits in a very lazy manner. To this, Amanda imagines herself as a mermaid who lives a calm and relaxing life in the beautiful green sea. Further, she is nagged for not cleaning her room and shoes and also for not doing her homework. She then imagines herself to be an orphan because she is now fed up of being watched by her parents continuously. She says that she would have enjoyed her freedom then, by making the patterns of her bare feet on the sand and would live a peaceful life. Next, Amanda is scolded for eating too many chocolates as this causes pimples. She is also scolded for not listening to her mother. So, now Amanda thinks of being Rapunzel, a character from a fairy tale and wants to live in a huge tower like her. In the tower she will be alone and will live a peaceful life and will never allow anyone to come in. Finally, the mother asks her to stop being moody because she doesn’t want anyone to blame her for harassing her daughter. At this time the poet has not written any reaction from Amanda’s side. This constant nagging has made her so sad that she has even stopped to imagine herself as someone else. She used to do so in order to escape from the continuous harassment and dominance of her parents.

Answer:
Bringing up teenagers can be both the challenge and fun. Teenagers can be rebelious, independent with higly hot temperament. Thus, yelling and nagging them only makes matters worse. At some point, parents cannot know what their child thinks. Thus, the teenagers think that they know everything. So, they become adament and stubborn.
But at the same time raising a teenager can be fun too.Their minds are filled with creativity and new ideas.Therefore, teenagers keep exploring different things.
Thus, Amanda is a similar poem which deals with such attitude of a teenager. Being persistently nagged and rebuked by her mother she always indulges in her fantasy world. She becomes moody and sulky and longs for freedom. On the other side, the mother not being able to understand her child ends up yelling even about her moody behaviour.
Thus, in my opinion, such clashes often occurs between a child and a mother making this a challenging and a fun task for a mother.
