I am an author of poems and books. I am very depressed and I've had a bad life for most of it. My life is not over yet however. I am beginning to write my own story and become my own person. I am 16 but sometimes I feel like Im a fully grown adult. People used to look at me like I was a kicked puppy that they needed to throw a bone to in order to feel better about themselves. Now people are the ones kicking me. Well I have news for them, this puppy is about to bite back. I am stronger now and I realize I need to fight for myself and others like me. I am becoming a helper to the helpless who are bullied, abused, mistreated, and misunderstood. Its time for a change in this world for victims of bullying and abuse, and I Kaci O'Dell will be one of the few who will make that change happen. We should no longer have to be in fear of others or anyone else.
