I’m 16 about to be 17.

I try to get away from everything.

Everything that makes me feel like I’m not worth anything.

They say school is where you get away from all the negativity.

But in reality it’s no different from my home.

I’m always on my own.

It’s hard for me to talk about my emotions.

There’s so much commotion in my house I don’t have a place to get away from it.

Life gets harder for me because now that my sister is in college I’m alone and have no one to talk to.

I have a learning disability and it gets in the way of my dream of going to a good college.

I don’t have the same knowledge that most people have and it makes me feel like I’m an outsider.

I’m a hider who never opens up to anyone and that’s what makes me so depressed.

I always feel stressed because I fear that I wont be able to have the chance to prove people wrong about my disability.

Yes I might be different from other people but I still have the ability to accomplish many things.
