1. How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

You know how people can look at others and say they look at certain age? I can't fucking do that. I would be able to give a range, like you look anywhere from 13-18 years old. Like I can give big enough ranges to make sure that I got you in it, but I can't say oh you look 15. I don't understand how people do. But to answer the question, I've been told I look 16, which I'm 17 so that's pretty close. I'll put a picture in here and you guys tell me how old I look because I'm curious.

BTW, this was when my hair was partially red, it's all black now.

2. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don't like and like so many things we don't do?

I think we don't do things we like because we're scared. We're scared of what others may think of us so we don't do the things we like and we do the things we don't like. In reality, we really should just stop giving a fuck what others think of us and we should stop giving a fuck what others are doing if it doesn't affect us personally.

3. What is the one thing you'd most like to change about the world?

It's unrealistic and it's cliche but peace. I don't understand why we fight so many wars over stupid shit. It really just turns into a bunch of why and what if's. Like why did Hitler really feel the need to want to control not only Germany, but most of Eastern Europe? Just why? Why did he feel like that was necessary?

4. If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?

I probably wouldn't live it any differently than I do now.

5. Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?

Doing the right things. Doing things wrong will only help me grow and become a better person. If you always do things right life will be boring and you'll never learn and grow in life.

6. If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?

Don't be annoying. Let your parents and whoever else is living in the same house as you sleep at night. Not that it matters what piece of advice I would give them because they're a baby and wouldn't listen to me anyway.

7. What's something you know you do differently than most people?

Probably the fact that I actually write down everything I want/need to get done in a day and I don't abbreviate things on it either. I write out the words completely and any titles completely. Like when I have homework during the school year, I don't just write English then put the homework down. I put Honors English 11 because that was the technical class name.

8. What one thing have you not done that you really want to do? What's holding you back?

Become a physician assistant. What's holding me back? Oh, I don't know just the fact that I'm 17 and haven't graduated high school yet.

9. Are you holding onto something you need to let go of?

Probably. Like my relationship with my dad is absolute shit and it always has been. I probably need to let go of the fact that he didn't want to claim me as his child a few years ago. But I can't. What kind of man "raises" a child for 13 years and then when that man goes to get a divorce and has to claim this child, he doesn't want to? I was born 2 years before I parents got married so when they got divorced my dad had to legally claim me to have any parental rights over me. But he didn't fucking want to, he argued it in court. He said he wasn't sure if I was his kid because my mom is a "whore". I was 13 when this all happened. Because he wouldn't claim me the court ordered that we had to get a DNA test done. All that did is prove that I am his kid and that he's an absolute dick. I should let it go because it was 4 years ago, but I fucking can't. It still pisses me off.

10. If you had to move to a state or country besides the one you currently live in, where would you move and why?

State? Pennsylvania. Country? Either the UK or Australia.

11. Why are you, you?

Because I am. Because my mom gave birth to me. To answer the question for real, because I don't give a shit what you think about me. That and I'm sarcastic smart ass.

12. Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you?

Losing touch with a good friend that lives near you because you lost a good friend. Just because a good friend doesn't live near you, that doesn't make them a "bad" friend. A good friend doesn't have to live near you to be a good friend. Just ask joshhutchersonlover2 we don't live near each other really, but she's still one of the best friends I have ever had/have.

13. What are you most grateful for?

A lot of things, mostly just my friends and family.

14. Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?

Lose all my old memories because I don't remember much from my childhood anyway.

15. Has your greatest fear ever come true?

I am absolutely terrified of heights. What does the band do every year at every competition we have? Sit as high as they can. If you have ever seen Ohio State's football stadium, The Shoe/Horseshoe, it is so fucking high. And the band decided it would be a great idea to sit at the very top of deck D. I almost started crying because I didn't want to go up there. Luckily my band director, well old band director, knows me and she sat down lower with me until awards.

16. Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you were extremely upset?

Actually there was this time 5 years ago I was I guess you can say upset. Really a better word for it would be pissed the fuck off. It was bad enough that my friends Claire, Megan, and Tyler had to drag me out of the cafeteria.

17. What is your happiest childhood memory? What makes it so special?

As I mentioned before I don't remember much from my childhood, unless it was bad. Like I remember one of my classmates breaking their nose in gym class during a dodge ball game when another classmate dived for the ball at the same time. She has a plastic nose now. And this happened on picture day to before our pictures were taken so her nose is crooked in her picture.

18. Have you ever been with someone, said nothing, and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever?

Yes, I would much rather read a book than talk to someone. So I've done that before.

19. If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job?

I don't have a technical job right now. I've applied to quite a few places though. But if I did have a job, no I wouldn't quit my job, that million dollars won't last forever. That and I'm anticipating quite a bit in student loans so I'll need that million to pay those off.

20. What is the difference between being alive and truly living?

Being alive is something all of us reading are doing. Truly living is doing what you want you to in life and being happy with your life.

21. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?

I don't give two shits about people think of me, so nothing. I wouldn't change a damn thing.

22. Decisions are being made right now. The question is: Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others make them for you?

To an extent others are making some decisions for me. But for a good reason, there are some decisions I can't legally make for myself because I'm not 18 yet.
