The Girl Who Plays The Insane: ON PAUSE

Elizabeth and her life

Birth and early childhood:
Elizabeth was born October 15, 1988 at 12:37am in London England. At the time, her parents were only 16 which was actually quite normal for her family. 

Elizabeth grew up in a small-ish house, just past the outskirts of London. Elizabeth was pretty much an only child up until she was 9.

Siblings: When Elizabeth was 9, her mother Bree, gave birth to her sister Izzy in 1997. She loved helping her mother raise izzy and grew up to become quite close with the younger girl.

At first Elizabeth thought it was gonna be just her and izzy but that was until her mother gave birth again, to her brother Ace, in 2002. That year she had a gut feeling telling her that this was going to be a reoccurring pattern...

and she was right.

Her mother gave birth to her second brother Alek in 2003, then to her second sister MacKenzie in 2005, her 3rd brother and sister Lilo and Kai, twins in 2006, and then her 4th brother and sister Hannah and Bryce, twins in 2008, the last of her siblings. Although by the time MacKenzie was around 4 weeks old, Elizabeth left for her career.

School:

Elizabeth had a love hate relationship with school. She hated going to school during kindergarten to grade 5. She hated every subject that wasn't gym, art, drama, music or language arts(reading/writing). That wasn't the only reason either.
Elizabeth was bullied a lot. All the kids that she was weird and had an over active imagination often teasing her for pretending she was a warrior, had powers, a mad scientist and so on. Elizabeth became quiet because of this, coming home crying and blocking things out.

The teachers were trying their best to stop the bullying but it didn't stop the kids. So the teachers focused on something else.
Although younger Elizabeth would disagree,  Elizabeth was really good in a majority of her subjects more so the arts; drama, music and art, even writing although she still struggled greatly with it but she was one of the best in her class.
The teachers were always so amazed by her talent and loved her imagination. 

Sometime in grade 5 they had a meeting with her parents, they mentioned anything and everything ranging from the bullying, to her imagination,  her skills and even the fact that they had reached out to a near by arts school about her talent.

They told her parents that they thought Elizabeth would be able to achieve so much more if she were to go to the arts school. Although her parents were ecstatic they were concerned about that price but her teachers quickly washed away the fear with saying the arts school was giving her a scholarship. 

So with that she moved to the arts school were she indeed achieve much more and not just her skills. She fit in more there was no more bullying about her imagination because every else was the same way. She learned to play more instruments and made more friends. Her pain was pretty much gone.

Gr.11 Elizabeth dropped out to go pursue her career as she was being offered so many roles for different plays, shows and movies.  Her parents and all her teachers were not mad but very supportive and proud.

Bullying:

Like I said before, Elizabeth was bullied but it wasn't just about her imagination.  As I said above it was for a her weirdness but it was also for her smartness. Elizabeth didn't see it at the time but the kids were jealous of her, although it did begin to click into place as she grew older.

She couldn't help the fact she was smart and neither could she help the fact she was weird but she wasn't really weird that just how the kids described it. Elizabeth had a bunch of problems- fears and Disorders.
