Fighting for so long

Diary entry (prologue)

Dear diary,

I really have no idea how to do this but I guess I put stuff down about myself. My name's Amanda, I'm 17 and my life has gone to shit. I don't even see the point in this stupid thing! My dad got this for me so I could put down my "thoughts" But I'll just tell all the horrible things going on. First off I live with my dad, my mom is really sick and in the hospital quit often but she told me she'd be back in time before school started. I have a week left and she still isn't back and that worries me. I'm starting my Junior year but I'm not excited because everyone at this school is a jerk! All of my friends that were my friends left me. The only person that even talks to me is a guys named John, but he hardly talks to me anyway. So like I said, my life sucks, let's just hope it doesn't get worse.
