TEEN FEELINGS



Growing up the middle child is not always easy. Especially if you feel like your never seen,it makes life twice as hard to deal with.You see how your older brother is treated and that makes you want to be his age so you can be treated the same.But your parents have another child an that child becomes the apple of their eye and you never had a chance to ever feel loved. Now as a teen you feel the same but your mind is way older than your age tells. Helping your parents with things typical teens would not normally help with,the only thing that keeps you going is the dream you have that one day it will get better. Being a girl does not help either because as a girl you yearn for love so you find it else where.Your parents never seem to have money for you but have money for everyone else. So it starts to make you believe that all you deserve is the left overs. yea i know how you feel.

THE GIRL WHO GREW UP ALONE IN THE WORLD.



At the age of 13 my best friend passed away, my mother and my father was not in my life.I had to move in with my aunt and start over. My aunt soon became someone i can talk to so the alone feeling slowly went away. But that was only for a few months because then i was shipped off to live with my other aunt and her family. I stayed to myself for a long time never really feeling like part of the family. My father would come see me every week. Which made me feel like maybe he really loved me. But as time went on he slowly stopped coming from once a week to once every two weeks until i did not see him at all. He would not even call when i was sick. I built up a wall because i did not want to get hurt anymore. But i let my grandmother in because i knew she would not hurt me i wanted her here forever.But then my life crumbled when she died of cancer i promised myself that was the last person i would ever let in. I never wanted to feel pain like that ever again. The day you graduate from high school is supposed to be the most happiest day of your life. But not for me because instead of walking off stage to hug family members i walked off and took the bus home. No one came for me but i no life will get better i have hope..........
