On the Street for Christmas Today is the day after Christmas. Most kids my age spent yesterday with their families happy, woke up in a home, had a warm meal,but not me. I am used to the holidays being a hard time but this was probably the hardest. I woke up in an elevator by myself. All I wanted yesterday was to be with my brother, 2 sisters, and my real father. But I knew I could't have that. So all I wanted to do then was get drugged up and end my life. But I know that if I do that my mother will win this war and I can't let that happen. Its scary when living on the streets is better and feels safer than being home. And you're not the only one who sees that. But at 15 with my birthday 7days away I have no other place to go, or so I thought. This morning I realized it can. I can just sit back and stay where I am at and be okay with it and that would be worse. So I have decided to do what I can to help other people in my age group. I am going to do what I need to do to keep myself healthy and am not going to settle for nothing less than my personal best. If you are a runaway or feel like running away please be smart about it. Do turn to your friends for help, call the nine line at 1(800)999-9999. They can help you find a safe place to stay. I know how the streets are. I am trying to stop using drugs cutting and all those other teenage issues that are out there. So is my best friend. Please remember that you re are not alone. If you are in need of help in finding some place safe to stay please leave me a message in the comments section. Myself and a group of other teenagers are willing to do what ever it is to get you the kind of help you may need. I want you to know that I understand and can relate to a lot of you out there and want to help you become the best person that you can become and reach your biggest goals and to be as happy as possible. I care and my heart goes out to all of you. I am basically there too! |
