Being young has a meaning. A meaning of exploring new places. The idea of growing up hasn't even crossed you little mind. Until you realize what your life has been revolved around. Your dad always at work. Your mom lost her license because she has seizures...
That all revolves around you family. You look up toward your older siblings. I have a older sister and brother. One day I was at school, normal day, the office called me down said my mom was coming to pick me up. I stood and waiting, she picked me up, said my brother had shot himself, it was in his stomach. He is still alive, just the though of almost losing him made me sick to my stomach.
Couldn't say hi the first night because he didn't want me to see him the way he was. The next day I wanted to focus on school but I went to see him. I tried so hard not to cry.
I am happy he is alive today. Families are hard to deal with but most of us can't bare to lose what we have known for so long. Your reactions depend on your choices.
