Growing up really sucks. Especially with parents like mine. All they do is argue and never pay any attention to me. That's why I'm nothing but trouble.

My parents don't know all the things I do. They don't know that I go to jail at least four times a month for drinking at parties or how I sleep with a ton of different guys. They don't know that I occasionally smoke weed with my friends or that I smoke cigarettes on a regular basis.

But what they also don't know is that I'm super smart. All of the classes I take are advanced classes and that I have a 4.2 GPA and have had that since freshman year. They have no idea that I've won many awards because of my grades or how its only my junior year in high school and I've been offered a full ride to Princeton.

People may call me a bad girl or a slut but they don't realize why I do these things. I do all of those bad things because I'm craving that love and affection a child should get from their parents. I sleep with all these guys because I want male companionship because my father is an alcoholic and he's always too drunk to know what I'm doing. Not to mention he beats the shit out of my mom every time he gets drunk and they argue.

What I'm starting to realize is that life isn't perfect and neither are people and thats part of growing up. But I have to get out of this place if I want to make something of myself. And I have to do it fast.
