    • About Me

      I the middle child out of my family which i hate. My dad died recently and he was the only person that i was close to in this family. I now live with my mum and little sis and my older sis and niece and nephew live just across the road. In my family i have always been the person that people could come to to talk about their problems but now no one will listen to me when i have a problem. I have epilepsy which they discovered 6 years ago and now i have voices in my head telling me 2 do horrid stuff but doctors cant help me cause they dont no wot it is. People sometimes reckon that im like a child thats never grown up.
