After today I have come to see that sometimes it's good to speak up and tell what happened. This is my way of doing just that. Not many people know my past to the full extent, not even my parents or friends. There are just things that were never said. These things are exactly what I wish to express now. Understand, I am not doing this for attention or pity. Sometimes it may seem as such but really it is not.
I'am a 16 year old with your normal dyfunctional family. In my household abuse was that dysfunction, everyday was a battle. As you can see I didn't lose those battles. All that happened to me helped shaped the person I am today. If I had the choice to do all over again I would.
The fact that every child is abused at one time is clear to me. I also know that many others are much worse off then me. Compared to other lives mine was easy.
But no matter how small my problems may seem to others I will not let them slow me down or hold me back. That would only mean they have won. The most exciting part of the battle is the fight worth fighting. This is my one voice speaking out to tell the world I have made it.
