Alone

Chapter 1:Getting to know me

    Hi i'm Maddie Olsen and I'm 15. I have been depressed for about 3 and a half years now. Its all gotten harder when mom died of lung cancer a year ago. It doesn't even seem like dad cares at all that she passed away. I miss her so much, she actually understood me unlike dad.

    I have a step mom but I really don't like her. She beats me all the time with a belt or wooden spoon, calls me names and makes me do EVERYTHING for her. I have tried to tell my dad but he doesn't believe me. He is never home to witnesses it either. So I guess I have to just deal with it.

    I currently am going to Venice Florida High School but who knows how long that will last. I have been switching schools my whole life. I never can make a friend cause I stay for like a month then we pack up our bags and move somewhere else. Just a month ago I was going to Hawassee high school but now we are here.

    I don't understand why my dad has to have this stupid job. He doesn't even get payed well. He is a photographer it's been his dream forever but, its destroying my life.

    He takes pictures in a location for awhile then sells the house and moves us somewhere else. I enjoyed it when I was younger but as I have gotten older I want to stay in one spot to make some friends and maybe even be in a relationship.

    I have been cutting for awhile now. There is no reason to stop cause no one cares. No one knows I do this and I would like to keep it that way because I don't want to be put into a mental hospital. I'm not mental. I don't belong there. I just need a friend.
