Now all he does is drink, smoke, & beat me. I cut. Yes its hurts but what do i have to live for. A couple times I had to go to the ER for passing out. When I go to school everyone just stares at me when i walk in the school in the morning. Snickering & whispering to their friends. Probably saying cruel things about me. I get bullied & beaten up alot. Then this new boy name chresanto and stopped a boy from punching me one day now he sticks up for me. He is my only friend. And I hope everything will change.
