| Did I Do the Right Thing? My life has been all hell since day one. My mother was abusive, my father choose his new wife over me, then he sent me to live with his sister. I started hanging with the wrong crowd and got into alot of trouble. My aunt would beat me, maybe I deserved it, but she took the beatings way out of line, whatever she could pickup, throw, and hit me with she did it. I would stay out of school to hide bruises and cuts. But it was easy to pass off at school because I was known as the problem child who took nothin and fought everyone. I fell behind in school so bad right now I'm backed up 3 yrs. So when she beat me the last time I said screw it and left it all behind. I ran with 3 outfits, toothbrush, brush, and shoes. I ran to get away, I ran to find a better life. When I lived with my aunt I would get so stressed out I'd have full blown migranes. The whole point in running was so all that would just dissove. But it didn't. It got worse. I lived on the streets and got into drugs. I never got into the whole selling my body thing but I'm pretty sure that if I had been out there any longer I would have. But eventually the police found me after 5 months and put me in juvy for 2 weeks. I could have got out after 2 days but I refused because of the abuse. So before I knew it I was an orphan in social services custody, now for the last 10 months I've bounced between 3 group homes and 2 foster homes. I've been moved away from all my friends, cut of from everybody I once knew. Now instead of being physically hurt my heart is slowly breaking into peices. I've suffered a seizure and a panic attack. I also have been diagnosed with chronic migranes. Now when I sit back and look at all this I have to wonder, should I have just stayed at home and stuck it out? Did I do the right thing?
