Well, I'm Amanda. I'm 15 turning sixteen in a month. I've moved around a lot but just for family reasons. My story definitely isn't as sad as other peoples' but ill share it. Whoever reads this is gonna be some of the first to know..

So, my parents were together until the end of my second grade year. We moved to new jersey and my dad wasn't around a lot but I wasn't told why. Turns out he was in jail. But all I knew was that they weren't together anymore and I was in a virtually new place. So I started to stress eat. I never realized how bad it was till about 5 years ago seeing pictures of myself and hearing what people were saying. It was horrible. Since third grade, I moved back to new york and switched schools again. In my new, small town, somewhat rich school, people were horrible. Everyone was two faced and getting 'popular' was definitely on my list of things to do. Id lost some weight since third grade and also just grew up more. So in 6th and 7th grade I was finally happy with my social status until I realized that you have to play the game to keep your spot. There was these two girls who didn't like me befriending all of their friends and decided that there were just so many things wrong with me. I'm really big on matching clothes and I waanted to fit in so one day I wore orange blue yellow and white plaid shorts with an orange shirt. And from that day on, I was the fat girl who was honored to be called pumpkin. Then I joined soccer a year later and I was insecure, but I was getting fit and I wasn't the biggest girl on the team. I was sick, so I missed a day and when I came back, they said they made up a dance the previous day and wanted me to try. I was skeptical, but I wanted to fit in, so I did it. They fell on the ground laughing. Turns out that's how they thought I looked like when I walked. I got rid of all my pictures of me from the end of second grade till about sixth or seventh grade. I started cutting and evenntually enrolled myself into a new school. We moved soon after to north carolina though, but it was the most amazing time of my life. I moved back to new york last year and it broke my heart. I stopped cutting when I was in north carolina and have since then decided I'm going to move back down there for college. I'm going to be a psychologist and art therapist. I can't wait to finally be completely happy. (: so yeah, thank you for reading this. And anyone can email me anytime at muffinzbabii@gmail.com I may be shyer than I was before all of this, but I'm also stronger. <3
