The Journal of a Depressed Teenager

The Beginning

            If anyone's reading this, let me get you caught up on the current times. This may take a while.

           This all really started after I turned six. My mother, Rachel, and my father, Frank, were in an unhappy relationship. Screaming was a big factor of my family life. This led to their divorce. I have four sisters and a brother. Charlene, Kara, Jocelyn, Alex, and Devin. Devin doesn't come in to the picture until I'm around eight years old. My sister Charlene is currently twenty-seven and has 3 children, I believe. I can't be sure. I haven't seen Charlene or even remotely heard from her since I was about seven. Charlene hasn't bothered to contact my dad in a long time. Kara is twenty-four and is in the Navy with her boyfriend, Joda. Jocelyn is twenty-two and works at a large bank and is usually with her boyfriend, Harley. Alex is twenty and is in her second year of college with her girlfriend, Jaqueline. Devin, my brother, is also twenty. He went into the Marine Corps, but was dropped after a year for a suicide attempt. He's working as an electrical worker and is the only sibling that lives with me.

         Charlene and Kara are the two daughters from my dad's side. Meanwhile, Jocelyn and Alex are on my mother's side. Devin is my step-brother but he's closer to me than that so I just say brother.

         Anyways, I live with my mom in a very desolate place called Nottoway, Virginia during the week. I travel to my dad's house for the weekends, but we usually stay at his girlfriend, Kathy's house to avoid his mom. She's an alcoholic who dyes her hair purple and wears blue lipstick by the name of Brenda.

         This is my family situation for now, I'll tell you the real stuff later on. I'm currently really sad and don't feel much motivation at the moment, but I'll get back to it soon.
