About Me: Female, 19, Hamburg, NY, member since Sep 2008
im you typical teen, with a few twists and turns along the way.
i dont mean to sound cocky, but im more mature then most.
...
[More] i have seen more traumatic situations then most adults.
i grew up not knowing i had a "daddy", i met him at the age of 5.
he was and reamains a crack addict, however he has currently been sober for over 6 months.
my cousin is in jail for killing a 52 year old man,
my uncle and aunt are drug dealers, as well as my two 10 year old cousins.
i have cousins with cerebalpalsy breast cancer and epilepsy.
my uncle has OD and bled from the eyes from pain killers, and two of my uncles are severe alcoholics.
dont feel bad for me, thats not what this is about.
this is just meant to show that i know who i am, what the world is like, and to not make those same mistakes.
i may still be learning, and i know that will never stop,
but there are some things you cant know, cant understand, unless you have lived through them.
im here to offer an input on anything it is welcome on,
as well as ask a few things of my own.
thanks to everyone for reading this,
it means a lot that you did.
:]
