Have you ever wanted to speak your mind and tell everybody how you really feel? I'm here to tell you the story of a girl I know who was trapped in her mind and couldn't find a way out. She was only 2 when her parents broke up and she lived with her dad and grandparents most her life. She would visit her mom every weekend. As she got older her dad always told her that if she didn't feel comfortable he would do whatever it takes to make her feel comfortable. When she found out she was so happy. Then she started to spend more time with her mom. But it didn't turn out how she had planned. She saw her mom get beat by her brothers dad. She had to protect her little brother when she was only 6 and her brother was 4. She would have to cover his ears and tell him everything will be alright. When she heard the screaming had stopped she checked on her mom and her mom was crying in the closet. So she ran to her mom and sat next to her. She had to comfort her mom as well as her brother. After her mom and her brothers dad broke up she lived back with her dad. When she began 3rd grade her dad got a new job in California. So she had to move with him she was worried about her brother and her mom. When they first moved she was okay. She spent some of her 3rd grade there and her birthday and christmas and then she didn't feel right. So her dad and her moved back to her home town in Illinois. And when they did her dad asked his girlfriend to marry him so she finished 3rd grade and 4th and 5th grade she made a bunch of friend there. And people were making fun of her so she cut started to cut herself. Then her dad got a promotion and he had to move to Wisconsin and she was sad to leave her friends and her brother. But before they moved her mom had another kid and so she had 2 brothers. Her second brother and her share the same birthday. When she and her dad moved at first she felt kind of lonely. While her dad had to go to work so she had to go to the boys and girls club she didn't know anybody at all so she started to listen to music every second of everyday she could not live without it. Then one day somebody came up to her and they started talking and they became best friends. In 6th grade she was doing good at first then she started to hang out with her "best friend" more and more and her grades started to drop. That same year she got suspended for beating up a girl in the locker room in school. And her dad kept yelling at her but she didn't care. Until people started to make fun of her for "acting cool". And so the cutting got worse. She started to do it more and more it was like she was addicted to it. But she tried to hide the scars but her dad found out and he got really mad at her. She was good at hiding them at school. The next year her new step mom and her 6 kids moved in her her an her dad this happened when she was in 7th and the same thing happened good grades at first then it all went down hill. She got suspended for smoking in the bathroom at school. She kept getting kicked out of her classes and talking back to the teachers. And she was called names again and her cuts got deeper and she tried to hide them but then her best guy friend saw them and he told his best friend. It was going around the whole school and one day she was called down to the guidance councilors office. And then so they had to call her dad. It didn't just happen twice that they called him but 3 times. So her one of her friend showed her a band and soon that band became her life. She found more bands like them and her whole life now is about band. But then the more she got into the music and the bands she became quieter. And more distanced from her friends. At the end of that year she didn't have that many friends. Now she's in 8th grade so far it's not going to well. The 3rd week of school she almost got jumped at a football game. She got called names and she even tried to commit suicide. She still cuts now and she hates living in Wisconsin, so she told her mom and now her mom is trying her best to get her to move back to her home town. She feels like nobody understands her and that she is all alone. She's just a broken heart that anyone could save. She goes to see her mom and family on thanksgiving. The night of thanksgiving her mom and her boyfriend are fighting and her baby sister is just standing in the middle. So she had to do the same thing she did with her brother. She took her baby sister away from all the yelling but no matter where she took her sister they are still arguing.
They were arguing for 2-3 hours and her mom finally had enough so her mother took her and her sister to her uncles house and they slept over. The next day everything was back to normal and her mom and her boyfriend broke up and they won't ever get back together.
