My name is Kevin Graves I'm eighteen. I live in Winnipeg Manitoba canada and i'm currently enrolled Kelvin high school in grade 11. I go by a code in life. I don't have a problem with anyone or hate anyone unless they give me a reason to.

I didn't really have the greatest childhood . My parents were interesting to say the least My dad had a bit of a drinking problem and my mother did drugs. I have an older brother named Roderick when he was thirteen he decided to go live with our grandparents in Calgary Alberta. So for years I had no choice but to sit and listen to screaming, fighting and the occasional police sirens.The kids at school always judged me they called me a freak,unstable, Failure and the most infamous insults were towards my parents saying that I'll end up just like them.Let's just say I've been suspended a few times in Elementary school for defending myself against others. Because of all the things that happened when I was younger I just closed myself off from others and became anti-social. I took up drinking when I was thirteen. I did it mostly to get away from my problems. I thought if I drank enough the problems would just go away.

In the summer of grade 8. I moved in with my brother . He wanted to help me get on the right path , be a good influence on me and get me out of the place I called home.It helped a bit I didn't drink as much and was able to sleep at night. I'll admit I did try to make friends in grade 9 but I had no success. My reputation from elementary school followed me into high school. I'd walk down the halls and people would just stare at me like I some kind of monster. I'm not going to lie at first it bothered me a bit but overtime I just got used to it. I spent most of my time with my brother's ex Zoe She wasn't the greatest role model hell her opinion of people wore off on me and truthfully I figured hell why should I treat people nice if they I think i'm some kind of freak.I judged people based on appearances and the stereotypes that i felt went with them. Instead of making friends people ended up hating me for more than me being my parents son.

People always say " what's your biggest regret" Looking at my life as a whole I wish I didn't let my parents decisions decide my fate, get to know people before judging them. If I had the chance to do things over again would I? hell yea I would I'd do anything to fix the mistakes I've made.
