Education & Reference - 23 August 2007

My question is this: If a story is told in first person and the person telling it is a thirteen year old kid that typically uses contractions, would it be correct to use contractions in the narrative? I read somewhere that it would be in that instant, but I want some professional opinions. Please state your English experience and what you do if you don't mind, so I will have an idea of your knowledge. If you would rather not, that's fine too.

me and my fiance are having difficult financial problems right now. and we have debt about $16,000. and some other debts are in other people's name,they know about it but now my dad is saying that he wants nothing to do with us and wants to kick us out of the house but before we can leave the house he wants us both to pay off all of the bills.so now i'm stuck in a sticky situation where i don't have that kind of money to pay all at once. and he doesn't either cause we both wanted to get married but we can never save up due to our bills. we are both working as much hours as we can and we already have tried to ask for a loan but nobody would approve us. we even went on sites where personal people give you loans but nobody wanted to. and my fiance dad said that he'll help but only if we move other there to where they live.. they live about 3 1/2 hours away from us. but if i do move with them, i would probably be there slave waiting on them hands and feet. WHAT AM I TO DO????????????
