That's America :3 (Taylor Momsen)

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

I'm America and yes, I am well aware I am named after a country. Not my fault. I'm 16 and I'm a junior in High School. I'm turning 17 next month, can't wait I guess.

I live with my mom, dad and sister. They're all so rude and not family like. Last time I checked, your mom is supposed to give some type of shit about you when I can barely get a fucking "Hello honey!" out of my mom.

My dad is an abusive drunk, he hits me like I tried to mug him or something. He never hits my sister or my mom, just me. What did I do to deserve to get punched square in the face?

My dear old darling sister is a damn bitch. She bitches at me all the time about shit I don't even care or know about. She hits me whenever she thinks I'm not listening and she takes my things and never gives them back as if I said, "Oh, go on horrible sister of mine! Yes take all my money and my keys! Oh wait don't forget my clothes, spend all my money and shit please, too! Thanks!"

I guess I shouldn't complain much though, people have it worse than me. But that doesn't mean I can't bitch about it right?

High School is actually pretty good. I'm one of the most popular girls in school and I have everyone practically drooling over me. It gets annoying at times but I actually feel loved for once. They just kind of worship me and I love that.

No, I'm not a fucking whore. That's not how I roll, I'm still a virgin and I don't plan on losing my virginity soon. I'm not one of those "stuck-up cake my face high heel wearing oh shit I think Jeff is totally going to love this eyeshadow" popular girl, I'm just apparently "very attractive" and I'm pretty nice I guess. I've had a fair share of guys trying to get in my pants but they failed horribly.

Popularity isn't always fun since you have rumors spread about you which can be as dumb as you killing a person or as weird as fucking the janitor in the bathroom. Also all of the bitches and assholes following you around trying to be your friend just because you're "popular". Honestly, I don't like people so they get some responses like "get the fuck away from me" or "fuck off or I'll confiscate your damn eyeballs".

I only like Jaylene. Yes Jaylene, her parents were expecting a boy and they wanted his name to be Jaylen but she popped out of her mom's vajeeper and now she's Jaylene. I thought Jaylen was unisex but, oh well. Jaylene has been my best friend since the play pin. My mom was always busy like always and my dad is and was a dick so her parents took care of me and we became besties! I'll do anything for her.

She's in the popular crowd like me and I can only ever hold a conversation with her. But there's a few things she doesn't know, a few things the whole school doesn't know.

A lot of people would rather be me, I'm beautiful, I'm skinny, I can sing like an angel, and I'm popular. That's just what I've heard. The truth is, I don't like being me. They have no idea what I go through outside of school.

If their wishes came true about wanting to be me, they would cry and wish they could go back to their own life.
