I began Kindergarten and had to get stitches in my knee because construction was going on and somebody left a nail of the ground.

I meet my friend, Brittney. She was the only person who didn't bully me.

My dad gets a job opportunity in Cobham, England so we move out there. (I absolutely loved it there!)

My mother cheats on my dad and then proceeds to drop us out of school and take us back to the states. My dad received a demotion instead of the promotion he thought he was going to get because we moved out there. My brother and sister hated it in London and took my mother's side while I'm on my dad's side. It has formed a wedge even deeper between us because politically/etc I did not agree with my mother/brother/sister on anything and now I'd rather live with my dad but my mother forces me to live with her. I know that I cannot go to court because it will cost so much money and I have to think about the future and college. Another thing that just irks me is that my mother doesn't even have a job, proceeds to complain about how much things cost(while refusing to move out of a big house), and only lives off of my dad's alimony and child support. For me, I knew that the divorce was coming just because my parents would fight a lot, so it didn't impact me there , but being forced to live with my mother and do countless chores and help with homework and the order of the house while my siblings don't do anything at either houses really gets me frustrated.

This shaped my personality because I am now a people pleaser and it gets really annoying at times because if I didn't do something right I'd get in trouble so I feel that if I do something wrong people are going to be mad at me.

(My apologies for ranting.)

I start my second year in middle school at Crone and begin going by Alex instead of Izzy/Bella. I just never liked the name Isabelle, but I did like being called Bella in England.

I realize my sexuality, I've always known that Iv'e liked anybody regardless of gender, but here I was finally able to put a label to it. My dad knows but like I said before my mother/brother/sister have different views than me and are racist, homophobic, the whole republican lot.

Brittney's parents decided to send Brittney to a private high school so one of the only people who never bullied me and I was close with wasn't going to the same place as I was.

...was a really bad year for me, academically, emotionally, and mentally. I was really struggling with the workload for high schoolers, I lost motivation to do things (homework especially), really truly and honestly did not want to live with my mother and deal with her manipulation and lies right along her allies, my brother and sister, I was idealizing suicide(never was going to do it nor did I cut but I would think about how if I was just dead then I wouldn't have to deal with things anymore), and the list goes on and on. It was just a truly horrendous and terrible year for me and I wish I could do it over, but I know I should keep my head outta the past.

This shaped my personality because I now make an effort to get motivated and reach out for help when I need it, not when somebody needs me.

(I see a therapist regularly so please don't contact the school administration or something of the sort. I really am doing better.)

I'm doing better mentally, emotionally, and academically. I'm a little shaky but doing better now.
