I am 15

I am 15 I have expericenced death of friends and greif 

I am 15 I have stress

A different kind of stress then adults have

I don't have to pay bill, I don't have to worry about gas money, or buying the food that gets to my Mouth

But I have stress from school and paper and homework and friends and not having friends from 

Boyfriends and sisters, I could go on...

I am 15 I have experienced friends who have depression 

Who try to cure themselves by drinking and smoking but it just makes them worse

I am 15 I have helped more friends than I can count

I am 15 and I have been bullied, in 8th grade called a lesbian who didn't know better 

I am 15 I babysit, I voulenteer, and I have a job

I may be a child but I know this 

I have experienced things a child should never have to experience
