Affected.

You have a choice in what you want to do with your life. What you want to be when you grow up, and how you want to spend your time while you're still young. All my life I've dreamed of being an author, and having this perfect guy friend that turned into everything I'd wanted as a boyfriend. My life was pretty much planned out by the time I was 12 from knowing exactly what college I wanted to attend, to what I was going to name my kids. But life is so much more than just following a plan. With life you have to learn how to expect the unexpected. You never know when tragedy is going to hit and send everything you had going for you into a downward spiral, or when your life is going to head in a direction you hadn't planned. My name is Blair. I thought normal was having your entire life planned out ahead of you, but now I'm 16 and nothing has gone according to plan thus far in my life. But this life is mine, and I can't explain it any better than Society really has killed the teenager.
