Life with you

Joe

26th June 2000. The day me and my family moved from Leeds to London. Before we moved my life was horrible all the guys hated me and bullied at first I thought I could cope until I nearly gave up. I don't understand why I got bullied so bad I mean I know I'm socially awkward but we could of been friends it wasn't that I was ignorant I was just extremely shy and a nervous person. My mum and dad was also going through a hard time as they kept arguing and eventually couldn't take it any more. So now I'm living in London with my mum Lisa Sugg and my dog Casper Sugg. I chose not to keep in contact with my dad this is because he called me a coward after he realised that I was self harming he was also a alcoholic and once he was violent towards my mum. I don't self harm as much as I used to. The truth be told it was not just the bullying that made me self harm, it was my dad who would often punish me however I never told my mum she was having a hard time getting over him without making things worse So heres a story about my life in London.

"Are you ready for school joe" said mum. I reply yes nervously. Look I know it's a change and I know you hated it in Leeds but this time it will be different and you will easily make new friends. If only life was that simple I mumbled so that mum couldn't hear.

I stood waiting for the school bus 5 minutes late if that wasn't bad signals I don't know what is. Anyway I walked onto the bus. This boy called Connor said hi to me I didn't really know what to say so I replied hi. Me and Connor became friends Connor was extremely popular so I got to know more of the lads in school.

Whilst I was on the bus I felt a couple of girls staring at me. Connor said to me jokingly I think Olivia fancies u she is one of the popular girls. Oh girls don't usually fancy me I said to Connor. Connor just laughed.

As I got off the bus I noticed a girl who I think was the same age as me drop her books. I slowly walked up to her and gave her a hand
