we'll im not the best at this. but this site seems like it for sharing and as if there were many educated people with some good things to say.

so here it goes. i need your thoughts.

from a very young age i was "different" in a good way.
and i mean i know were all unique and special in our own way. but i had something very different about me. i dont want to get to into detail but after being abused as a child and exposed to drug abusing parents and many negative things and i grew up unphased. i was never told any of it but i seemed to already know things.a year ago i was fourteen and i lived with my grandma mom and dad. my grandma died so we were evicted and my dad was crushed by a car later in the months. and during the whole time the only thing i thought of was helping my mom through it and moving our stuff. i didnt see it normal for a "kid" to be see emotionally strong. later that year i moved away from my mom to attend a high ranked high school to get my education. i had to leave my mom and live with my best friend and his family to attend. (god bless that family)

so after all that and away from my actual family i succeed in a college prep school ranked 10th in the state in all honors class as a freshmen. and i do things like staying away from drugs and liqour (obvious) but i also do werid things like reject anything that would get in the way of success. such as avoiding relation ships with girls (because at this age its pointless)
is it normal to "have a good head on my shoulders" as my uncles calls it?

    success in life is living it well ~ it has nothing to do with achievement or wealth ... so many people seem to confuse that, everyone encourages them and praises them .. but in the end they are alone and empty , even if they are married with children .. they are still alone cos they never lived , never risked ,never understood that they always search for safety and praise , but it doesn't exist... its an illusion.
    the most important things learned at school is relationship in every form.

    don't worry im the same way when it comes to being successful (i'm 15 by the way) and trying hard. i don't drink, smoke, do drugs etc. because i always feel a need to be perfect. i've never had a boyfriend because i'm afraid to be in a relationship even though alot of guys have asked me out. i do these things mainly because of my dad who always pressured me to be perfect, get straight As in school, and i never really had much freedom as a child with being with friends and i still don't have as much freedom as other girls my age.

    but really i look back on all of it and it's made me who i am today. i'm happy just living my life and looking forward to the future. so yeah it's okay and "normal" to be like that.
