Life

Well, my life. I really give a lot of thanks to this website; it's helped me a lot. I have had a crazy life. My mom has gone through many divorces and I never really saw my dad. I lost so much. I've been hurt. In the 6th grade I had a good group of friends. I was a cheerleader and participated in all these clubs. In 7th grade, I met new people at another school. They changed me, they made me feel pointless, stupid, and ugly and they got me into drugs and other bad things. After that, I attempted suicide and my mom caught me and took me to a behavioral hospital . I hated it at the time, then I realized it was best for me. It was pretty much a break from reality. I went back to my old school and have my old friends. I don't cheer anymore and I feel left out. This website has helped me to realize that I'm not the only one but I need help. I really want a best friend who will always be there for me.
