Yes I did go to school but I wasn't paying school fees. Well.. I didn't really have friends, but I soon got used to it. Life was just rough, I was constantly bullied and even on top of that my dad was soo aggressive, he was so strict with me, he would beat me until I had blood. He did not hit me only but was also abusive toward my mother, I really wanted him to go but my mom was always on his side! But soon enough my mom divorced him and dated a new guy. Well he was a very good guy.. Not to mention he was sooo rich, we soon moved to Guateng, Pretoria and he brought us a huge mansion.. Life started to be good. I was popular in my new school and every boy wanted to date me, it felt like a dream Until I was influenced by my friends and I forgot about my family, money suddenly changed me. I started to be disrespectful, rude, sassy and all bad you can think of :| Well it started like this : My stepfather started losing focus on my mom and soon he decided to leave us without saying a word, he took everything of his, all his money. My mom and I were really broken without him because he had the love of a father that we've never experienced.. Well I guess life happened.. Me and my mom had to move into a smaller house because she couldn't really afford a big house I really didn't want that low life I was already used to being high and rich, so I decided to marry this other man because of his riches, yes I didn't love him! But I never wanted to be poor, we soon had kids but then I wasn't really happy..
