I have always been close to my family of five. My family is what made me strive for greatness and what made life joyful. I felt like everything was perfect and that I was on top of the world. However, this all changed when I entered an unfamiliar apartment that had all my belongings. I was only eleven when my parents split up, and the age where I had to grow up fast. My parent’s separation is something that holds me back till this day. For two years, I felt like I was on my own because my parents were never home. It seemed like my sisters and I were the ones being punished. There were countless nights where my sisters and I cried because of this sense of emptiness. My parents did not think we had to depend on them anymore, but they did not

I feel my heart boom in my ears screaming at me to go home and never come back, but I can’t because the Oakwood door is already staring at me in my face. I wonder how many times I’ll shut my mouth just so I don’t have to be told to shut it. I feel the air conditioning on my skin as I sit in my seat to unload my belongings. After putting my things on my desk, I heard a loud thump and saw scattered paper all over the floor. “Sorry ‘bout that, maybe you shouldn’t always be in everyone’s way,” hissed Mister to Cool for School, “or maybe you shouldn’t be here at all.”

Girls perch on the tables like exotic birds gossiping and giggling, a football fly’s above their heads between two jocks in varsity jackets parading their toned muscles. Groups of high schoolers sit around the room laughing. Weekend has arrived and the hallways of the school were filled with tons of kids ready to go home. Every ear filled with the sound of multiple conversations going off at once, lockers opening and closing, music blasting without. I had managed to push past the constant stream of children and to the school field. The grass was damp and covered in a thin layer of frost. As I walked my footprints were embedded, leaving a piece of me in the cold ground. I saw my friends faraway chattering and fooling around. I was stuck in the wrong crowd; they are nothing like me but somehow I am still friends with them. I slowly made my way up to my “so called friends”.

I hear the doorbell ring, but I don’t leave the room and assume Amy rung it in an attempt to make me leave. I hear her talking, but I don’t budge. I look down at her book and I still wonder how she reads so much when they look so boring. I hear her yell my name, but I know she’s trying to trick me into leaving. She tries calling for my help again, but it still won’t work.

1.You feel that you wanted to see me today because you feel that your life is falling apart. Your life is falling apart and you wanted to see me today.

This was an odd feeling. It feels good. Sitting around the table with Molly and David, eating our bowls of chili, makes me feel normal. It feels almost as if I wasn’t the son of a killer, the bad seed, or an abomination to this small town. I relish in the warmth of the laughter and sense of belonging. If only it could stay like this. For a short period of time the voices in my head are calm. They aren’t shouting about all of my flaws or telling me to end it. No one knows about the voices that I hear, only them and myself. As I sit in my chair watching I realize how found I have become of the two people sitting before me. Neither of them had any reason to associate with me, why would they? They could have treated me like the voices in my head

“School is dreadful” I respond, “People are quite cruel.” Lilly tries to look disappointed for

Then, as the last girl passed through, everyone went back to their places. I sucked in a rasped breath as I pushed the red, thick steel lunch room doors. With my hair covering the front of my face like a funeral veil, I examined the hard, smooth marble floors as I shuffled through the sea of shoes until I reached the wall. A hush fell over the crowd as the principal came strolling in. He started giving a speech about the school dance this Friday, yet I drowned him out. Today was January twenty-seventh, Stella’s birthday. I could not hold it in anymore as I sank against the wall, silently letting all the sorrow and despair flow out of me. Two pink sneakers came to rest on the glazed marble floors. “Well, do you not want to join us?” questioned a clipped, sickly sweet voice. Willing myself to raise my head, I slowly brought my eyes up. She was wearing a short checkered skirt with a navy blue collared shirt. I met the girl’s eyes. A shocking electric blue. “Well, are you going to answer me or not?” she asked again. “Um...sure…” I replied, mesmerized by the amount of makeup the girl had on. I felt hands on my shoulders as her crew pulled me to my feet. I stared at the floor the whole time until I reached the designated “popular”

My spouse and i avoid your need to help make it possible for my own Tamagotchi go south. My spouse and i regard presenting that an awful, pretentious title, just like Aloysius, or maybe Elvira. It's tempting to help let the display screen audience along with turds with vengeance, to help leave that to a gradual along with putrid death. However My spouse and i check into that with bathing rooms along with underneath kitchen tables, engaging in uninteresting Tamagotchi video games even though making text messages along with WhatsApp messages unread. The item becomes my own principal accountability, around interacting along with men and women. Now i am afraid associated with squinting straight into which gray display screen one early morning along

Broken Lives written by Estelle Blackburn is an expository text, which through research has presented that nineteen year old John Button was wrongfully convicted of killing his seventeen year old girlfriend Rosemary Anderson in a hit and run. I believe through my reading of Broken Lives that the key factor of expository texts is to explore awkward questions deeply and critically. In this case who was guilty of killing Rosemary Anderson in a hit and run, John Button or Eric Edgar Cooke, and the effect of Cooke’s crimes and murders had on people.

I loved pink, Justin Bieber, and my hair up in a ponytail with my signature headband. Life was good! But around that time, I started to learn about others pasts; their childhood stories. For some reason, no one elses was as bad as mine. I remember feeling lost, confused, and cheated. Why did everyone else have parents that stayed together and loved each other? That summer, I died. That happy, little girl shed her skin and got a new shell. I became a completely different girl. I loved black, rock and roll, and weirdly coloured hair always worn over my eyes. Don’t touch me, don’t talk to me, don’t get in my way was my constant mindset then. That was my first major “death.” I came back to school after that summer of change and it was different. It was like this for awhile, then towards the beginning of my sophomore year, I died again. There was a huge domestic dispute between my mom, her husband at the time, and my great grandma. I won’t go in depth because it is no ones business but mine. What happened though caused my sisters and I to be uprooted and moved to Eureka, Kansas.This is when everything got shook up again. The house that I had grown up in and lived in since I was two years old was now gutted and for some reason I was in Eureka. So it went back to why me? I started damaging myself again but not in the same way that I had before. Forget blades; I wanted no sleep, no food, alcohol, and cigarettes. Hey, if I was going to legitimately die this time, I wanted to go out having fun. I did exactly that, minus the real death.

As I felt depressed, I walk into the cafeteria passing crowds of wild people and find a seat in the corner of the lunchroom, where barely anyone sits. Why is it me who is always pointed out at the wrong mistakes I do, when there are other people who make mistakes, too? I question myself. I’m the only one who always gets pointed out and bullied. As I wonder about the situation to myself, tears run down my cheek, and suddenly, a group of kids come up to me. The bullies.

This explains the beginning of my life all the way to the end of my life. My life from the beginning was very fun as I grew up living with my mom’s friend and my friend. But there were a lot of fights and I was very hyper back then. I have ADHD so back then when I was little; I was very hyper and wouldn't stop moving around the place. I always was annoying back then and never seemed to get my homework done at school.

From the first time it never got easier. There were still times when my dad would walk in on me crying. Everyone has a heart break in their life. Mine just so happened to be the one I thought would never leave, and the one I had planned my future with. July 16th, 2016 was the first day Brandon came to hangout with me, and the day i knew would change everything for me. Honestly, there was no other excitement in the world that could top the way my heart raced that day. He pulled up to the driveway in a black dodge megacab. Not knowing what how the night would play out I quietly jumped in the truck and we started a very basic conversation and surprisingly we both couldn't stop smiling. We headed to champaign to go to the car demolition since his family was running in it. That night after the demo’s we went to his house and he had talked me into sitting down right beside him so he could ask me to be his girlfriend, and of course i said yes. Looking back now I should’ve said no.
