Tiffany is a not like normal 14 year old grl. Normal girls her age have fancy phones, boyfriends and a brilliant life altogether. Tiffany's life is NOTHING like that, she suffers from Insomia, she lives in an Orphanage, her parents beat her, she's a victim of bullying and self harm. Insomnia is were nightmares and fears keep you awake, or you can't sleep for no reason what so ever. Tiffany's parents gave her Insomnia. The beatings gave her the fears and nightmares. Her parents would come into her room at anytime of night and beat her. She coud never tell if they were drunk or sober. They were always going out, cheating on each other and at the age of only 4, they sent Tiffany away to an orphanage. Half way across the world; she grew up in Melbourne, Australia and was sent away to Newcastle, England.
But her life changes forever when 5 british lads come into her life and changed it.
Follow Tiffany In the hell she calls life...

Hi, I'm Tiffany, but you can call me Tiff. I'm 14 and I live in Newcastle in England. I used to live in Melbourne but the people who looked after (my 'parents') sent me over here cause they couldn't stand to be in the same COUNTRY never mind the house. So they beat me all day and all night. In the end I got Insomnia, nightmares and general fears keep me awake until a stupid time in the morning. But amazingly, I am NEVER tired. Anyway, this is my living hell...
12:39 am: i CANNOT sleep!! I keep thinking that THEY will walk through the door with a belt and other random crap, picked up on the way up on the way up the stairs. They never came though.
1:04 am: It feels like I've been up for days but it's only been hours. I've tried almost everything humanly possible to fall asleep but NOTHING FREAKING WORKS. It frustrates me. All of my 'weapons' have been taken off me. And by weapons, I mean self harming weapons. My life has been pretty crap so far and I'm only 14. AND, too add onto my crap life, I get bullied.
3:55: I can feel my eyes drooping but my body won't let my brain rest. I NEED my stuff back. I had spent over $500 on all of it.
5:59 Ah finally. Sleepy times...
I was woken up at 8:30 that morning by my geordie bff, Bethanie. Her parents couldn't look after her and her siblings properly. They lived with their mum but she treat them like slaves. Her dad called social services and arranged a private meeting where they put up cameras around the house and ran them for a week. Nobody knew. Social Services examined the evidence and decided ' it was an unsafe enviroment for any ages.' At the court hearing, Bethanie's dad tried for custody of the three of them but failed. Apparently, his house was also an unsafe enviroment, so they were sent here. Her brother, Jacques, and sister, Eve, were adopted a few weeks ago. She refused to eat and leave her room for 3 days, until I managed to coax her out. Since then, we've been BFFL'S. She knows my story and I know her story. Bethanie was the one to take my gear off me and she threw it out along with her own. She'd spent over £1000 on hers. And I thought I was bad. Mind, she's been bullied since playschool.
"OI! BETHANIE! HURRY UP AND GET OUT!!" I screamed through the bathroom door.
"AYE AREET. KEEP YA BLOODY TITS ON!" She yelled backed at me, her thick geordie accent showing through. I sighed in defeat and smirked. She always wins in our little arguments. I don't know why, but she just does. It's just in her genes.
