Explaination

      Okay first thing's first, an introduction. I'm a seventeen year old senior who has been through a lot. Whether concerning teachers who hate non-jocks, bad relationships or just plain feeling overwhelmed I have been there. I know, weird for a seventeen year old to want to offer advice to make people's lives easier. Well, I have never been a "normal" person. I am always told that I am far too mature for my age and I don't really know what it is like to be a kid.
      I have four younger siblings, an injured mom and a dad who works all day. I have taken on a ton of responsibilities (willingly) that most teenagers run from. I change my baby sister's dipars (and yes she is my SISTER! I don't know how many times I have been asked if she is mine), I cook dinner every night, I pick up the dog's droppings, I help my mom with the bills, play with my siblings instead of holing up in my room with laptop and phone in hand, I take 2 AP (advanced placement/college classes), I used too work, etc.
     I have also had my heart broken and been like a zombie multiple times already in my life. I have had multiple bad relationships in high school and I hope my current one doesn't end as badly, if it ends at all. I have been manipulated, mentally abused (didn't realize until later), and had my heart ripped out and stomped on three times. I get attached too easily and most of the time take things way too fast. I have learned to take things slower and hopefully wont revert back to the old routine.
      Most people I talk to say I am crazy and I will admit that I am and everyone is surprised I haven't broken down yet. Truth be told I have broken down multiple times but it is always in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep so they can not see the weakness. I hate crying in front of other people and unless Aunt Flow is visiting I can manage to hide it until I am the only one left awake.  And before you say anything I do have a very good support system in my mother, grandmother, aunt, and boyfriend. They help me through those rough times that I can not hide from and are always there for me, as I am for them.
      I'm not sure how often I will update this but I am hoping that talking about my experiences will help others. Parents who find this please feel free to share it with your children as I will not use profane words and if I can not formulate a sentence without one I will put it in random characters so your children hopefully wont be able to tell what they mean.
      I will also be referring to people with nicknames so as not to offend anyone. Mom and Dad will stay as such, my Grandma and Aunt will be known as just that, My boyfriend will be G, siblings will be Bub (14), O (6), T (5) and Dee (2). I will mention more people but I will describe who they are with out their names after I use the nickname.
     Well I think that is it for now. Hopefully I will have the first blog up soon but who knows with homework and such! ;)
