Long title, right? Anyways, hey guys:) First off, I just want to make it clear that this account isn't about me. It's about helping the victims of bullying, sharing their stories, and making it known that bullying is a real problem. But I thought you might want to know some things about the girl that you're trusting your stories with.
First off, I was born in Texas and I've lived here all my life. My parents weren't married, and when I was two years old they separated. When I was three my dad married my stepmom, and they've been together ever since.
When I was six years old, my dad told me that I would never be allowed to see my mom again, or even talk to her. I remember that day so well. I had been sitting in the chair across from him, where he was sitting on the couch. I asked him why, already starting to cry, and he said that he went to court and it was the judges decision. I sat down next to him and cried and cried.
When I was nine years old my mom called me. I hadn't talked to her once in three years. She was living in New York with her boyfriend and my sister, Claire, whom I had never met. On my tenth birthday she visited me for the first time in years. My sister wasn't with her, but she brought a big care bear that I still have in my room today.
Anyways I guess I'm talking too much about this, so I'll just say that today she lives in North Carolina with her husband, 3 daughters, and one son. I've met two of my sisters and my brother, but only seen them in person twice. My baby sister is one and I've never met her. It hurts to know that just like the rest of them, she is growing up without knowing me.
I have two sisters and a brother that live with me in Texas. They get on my nerves, and drive me absolutely crazy some days, but I love them and don't hesitate to stand up for them when I see someone teasing or making fun of them.
All of my siblings are half-siblings by the way.
Lets see, I have a pet dog and cat right now. My dog is gross and slobbery, and my cat pees in my room and on my bed when I leave. So I don't like either of them much.. But I do feel sorry for my dog when she experiences my dads anger. But better her than us, I guess..
Both my dad and my stepmom get angry really easily, and yell all the time.. Nothing I do is enough for them, but I try. Because if they aren't happy, they make sure that I'm not either.
I was bullied all through middle school and into high school, but you can read all about that on the other story I have posted about it. The first time I cut was in seventh grade. The very last time I cut was on April 13th.. of this year (2013). It's my biggest regret. But I'm over two months self harm free now, and so happy about that, even if it doesn't feel far enough away. I made a promise to myself that it would never happen again, and I'll make that same promise for all of you. Self- harm is so hard to stop. It's like an addiction. But I'm free of it, and I want to help as many people as I can stop it too.
Lets see, I've lived in this city for a couple years now and never been over to a friends house. I don't have many friends, honestly. But I have an amazing boyfriend, so that's nice:)
I'm on my school's Newspaper Staff, and in the process of starting a Key Club. It's an insane amount of paperwork! But will be worth it.
I love to write poetry, and post a lot of it on my other wattpad account. Recently I've fallen in love with Spoken Word Poetry. I spend so much time watching it on YouTube! I also love to bake, but my all-time favorite thing to do is to help people.
When I graduate high school I want to go to college. I plan on majoring in Psychology and minoring in Special Education. I want to be a Special Education teacher when I get older. :)
Okay, so there is SO much more I could tell, but I don't know how interested you guys are about any of this. So I'll end it with a list of some of my favorites, and if you have any questions, anything you want to know, feel free to ask in the comment section and I'll answer.
