Josh Owens. 15. For the past 4 years of my life I have been abused regularly by my parents and let me tell you, that is NOT pretty. For most of my life I've been abused, used, almost beaten to death, yet I still want to live day for day. Waiting for a miracle to happen. Waiting for these bullies to leave me alone. Waiting for my parents to move on about my sisters death and love me like they did her. But this won't happen without trying a few changes. I want to be loved truly, looked up to, be known where I live. Not be some unknown little freak in the corner who no one wants to be friends with. Welcome to my shitty life which I'm soon about to change, follow me through the ups and downs of life. Caution: This story contains Drugs, Alcohol and Abuse.
