When I sit back and look at how my life was growing up as a child and all the things I have been through in my entire life made me the strong woman that I am today. It all went downhill when my father passed away, he was my entire world. Since the death of my father, my mom became more and more depressed as the days went by and tend to distance herself, so it seemed like I had lost both of my parents that day. Growing up with no form a guidance I was a very rebellious kid, I did every and anything just to get attention such as: fights, pot, stole thing, got arrested numerous times, but that was still yet not the worst part of my life. Over the past few months my mother got into this relationship with a guy name Andrew things got serious …show more content…
He sneaked into my room almost every night and continuously raped me and other nights I would sneak out of the house and go to a friend’s house to spend the night cause I was so afraid of being home. After months of being sexually molested I found out I was pregnant, at that point I had no choice but to tell my mom what had happen. As I told my mom what had happen, her reaction to what I said was surely not what I expected, instead of comforting me she lashed out at me like I was not the victim in this or like I caused it upon myself. At that point I felt like I could not of trusted anyone, suffered from depression and I even attempted suicide . I later on moved out of the house and into my own apparent, went back to school and got my life back together, it was the hardest and most meaningful experience that I ever went through and because of that it made me the strong independent woman I am

    Growing up can be challenging even with the ideal surroundings. Your teen years are even more puzzling because you seem to be stuck in between being a child and an adult. Throw in not having a father or mother around and life gets difficult. The year 2001 was a difficult year for my family and the nation. My life growing up wasn’t picture perfect, but in one very long month I learned that kindness from those around will help you endure and survive.…

    When I was 17 it was 1995, I went on my first real date. We were going to see First Knight. The boy in question was the friend of a friend and I had only ever talked to him on the phone. He said he would pick me up at 7 and we would catch a movie. So far so good. 7 rolls around and he isn't there, he calls and says his Dad is running late so they won't be there till 8. I didn't realize his Dad was driving but whatever, I am withholding judgment. 8:30 they show up and he knocks on my door and I go out to join him. He leans in for a kiss and I lean very far back and awkwardly stick out my hand to shake his hand. He doesn't act like he knows what to do next and he is just staring at his feet and his Dad is staring at us and time just crawls. We finally just painfully walk to the car. It is not immediately apparent where we are going to be sitting. Now, this dude's Dad was HUGE. Not just his weight, but his entire freaking frame. He barely fits in his car. He has the driver's seat all the way back and in the front seat next to him is a cage of living breathing birds. The back seat is really only half a back seat because his Dad is filling so much of the car. I look at my date and look at the car. My date seems to have come to the same realization that there is really only one seat. I squeeze into the backseat while my date squeezes into the front seat with a bird…

    The issue you tried to cover is really unique and good. When I was a child my siblings used to help me study mats, physics and chemistry. They always used to show me step by step and then, they let me practice with several similar questions. That helps me for my present knowledge. I remember there were other children’s whose parents will do their home works for them. For sure they used to get a better grade but I am not sure if it helped them. There for from my own experience it is better to guide them and let them to try and fail; since it won’t hurt them to fail instead it will teach…

    Growing up, most of the children I knew would go to church on Sunday’s, visit their grandparents’ house to bake cookies after school, and have milk and cereal for breakfast every morning. But I had never set foot inside of a religious building, couldn’t even speak the same language as my grandmothers, and ate congee with fermented soy beans like it was the most natural thing in the world. My little town where I’d grown up, made friends, and built memories was, to say the least, completely un-diverse.…

    So yes, I am 16 years old, born on the hot day of June 8th. I am the first of three kids. My younger brother and sister, who are twins, were born four years later, after my mother became involved in another serious relationship. Brian. Yes, that was his name. Mr. Brian is what I called him. I thought he was one of the greatest people in the world. When he entered into my mother's life I saw her at one of the happiest points ever. He gave her everything she could ever want and soon, my mother quit her job at the local department store. He took care and supported all off us. I guess this is why my momma wouldn't believe it when I told her that he tried to molest me. She told me to shut my mouth and go to my room. Before that incident, I felt like I could tell could my mother anything. We had a very close relationship with one another but then this dwindled after…

    My mother who was terminally ill and hospitalized for treatment, died a year later. People at the orphanage told me she had passed on but refused to take me to her burial ceremony. She was diagnosed with her mental illness around the same time he was sentenced to prison. It was because of the shallow and feeling less guardians at the orphanage that I was forced to escape the orphanage and seek refuge of my own and try to find my own self. It was official; I had no one left in my life. No friends, no family and no guardians. As I became older, less informed and in touch with reality, I became fragile and weak mentally and physically. I turned to alcohol, drugs and theft to solve my problems. I raged with anger inside because I could not find answers to how a perfect, fun loving and honest person could commit a crime and abandon me after everything we shared together, and the most important thing being our love for each other. However that was farfetched from the reality of my life now. My life turned out to be worthless, after several attempts of trying to commit suicide through illegal substances and breaking into cars and homes, I was busted by a police officer and sentenced to juvenile jail until I turned 18. My life in prison was more chaotic.…
