I don't know how I'm supposed to feel, I'm almost 14 n I haven't accomplished much, how am I going to live like this? I'm getting tired of my parents always fighting n my cuts and bruises, I wish I could disappear into the mist. Nothing is working well for me at all. Last night I had another emotional attack, I hate to show my emotions so much. I wonder if even writing these helps me at all.

My father always says; "Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about!" holding the whip in his hand like a weapon.

I don't have any idea of what the future will be for me but I hope it'll be good, I might be a bad kid or whatever but I still think I deserve some sort of happiness.

Today, I went to the drive-in. Sneaked-in would be more accurate. I went with Pony to have some company, Ponyboy is still young, only 12 soon to be 13. But I feel like we have some things in common, so I enjoy being around him. We and the audience watched an Elvis movie, Elvis is still one of the greatest guys I think, I really like his music.
