Hey there! My name is Alyssa. I'm 16 and have been living in Ontario since 1996. If you are good at math then you'll realize that is when I was born. I've grown up with a younger brother Brandon who is awesome to say the least and parents who are not as supportive as you'd think. You can call me Alyssa, Ali or really whatever you want. I don't care! 

I've been writing since I was a little girl. When I was 7, I started writing stories about princesses and how they met their one true love. Writing became my saviour as I grew up because it helped me to write out the feelings that I was unable to express verbally. I spent most of my childhood in and out of hospital so I would write to say what was on my mind. When I first became depressed, I wrote about the feelings that I had surrounding suicide, self harm and the emotions that I was experiencing on a day to day basis. I came onto wattpad to be able to publish the stories and poems that I've written so that other people can critic me on the good and the bad. 

Reading has also been another way that I stay alive. A few of my favourites include Harry Potter, Divergent, anything to do with historical fiction, real life situations and sad stories. I can be consumed by a book for days at a time and only come out of my room to eat or to go outside to read. I will read anywhere and at anytime. Reading is the second reason I came on here so that I could read what other teens like me were writing which would hopefully give me some good types.
