Their words, their hateful stares and disgusted glares.
They don't understand the damage, no one really does,
Until you are forced to put up with it, yourself,
Until you are the one who has to go through life, being tortured.
My name is Alexandria Oxford, but I prefer Ally. My whole life I have grown up with expectations. Like my mum for example, slim tall, super model figure and smart, my dad; successful businessman, smart and every women's dream guy, my older brother; architect major with straight A's all through school, my sister; psychology major and straight A's like her twin. And then theres me, I may have straight A's but I have different ambitions for my future, I want to be an artist, someone who influences people with my music or someone who is a role model for those who are struggling.
But in order to be all those things I must first achieve what I like to call perfection.

Aria's Story
Background: I have an older brother named Chris, and a younger sister named Reagan. My parents picked our names last minute because they didn't really care about what they were going to name us. My family lives in a huge house in Texas. My dad is a doctor and my mom is a lawyer so our family is pretty much rich. My parents rarely pay attention to any of us because they never wanted us. They give us money every month so that we won't have to bother them when we need money for something. I could probably be happy about that if my life was actually good and not a living hell. My brother is 23 years old so he doesn't live with us anymore. He's really smart and he's been at Yale since he was 19. He's majoring in music. My little sister is 15 years old and she's super friendly. She's also really smart, but she doesn't act like it because she doesn't want to be judged. She's one of the most popular girls at our school and she loves to be center of attention. That's how it all starts.Complete
