I came here because I saw the story of Amanda Todd. My whole life I mostly knew violence by seeing my father abuse my mom and later my mom become that way to my sisters and I. In school I had a teacher who was abusive physically and verbally, years later that teacher was arrested. I was so terrified telling anyone about any of this it wasn't till a lot later around I couln't bottle it up and I attempted suicide when I was 12 by poisening myself. I only ended up becoming very sick and throwing up a lot. This wasn't the last time, but I got into drugs and was just high all ths time. When I wasn't getting high, I was eating, so I gained a lot of weight. I was picked on a lot and bullied into highhell.

My friends were amazing, but came from similar backgrounds and we did very dangerous drugs. We all loved eachother very much. I'm 23 now and moved to find work and a place to start off with. So, I had to say goodbye to the people I care about so much like my sisters and friends. I see pictures of them on facebook grown up and starting families, and I'll miss them more and want to cry. Now, I joined an MMA team and plan on boxing soon. I lost 120 and sit around 190-200 and plan on fighting at 170. I never thought I could be good at something until my coach told me I'm picking things up really quick. My training partners mention I'm getting harder to hit and I have great punching power. I feel this might be the path for me.

Anyway, that's just a quick back story why I feel for all the kids and teenagers who feel alone and hurt. It took great friends who cared about me to help me realize I'm not a loser, but maybe a slow starter with lots of potential. I hope to come on here and talk to everyone to help them feel better about themselves and that someone actually cares. If you need anyone to talk to that's been there or if you just want to shoot the breeze because there is always someone who wants to talk to you, send me a message.

Also, I'm more than clinical depression, brutal workouts, and getting punched in the face kind of guy.. I also am a classic gamer, music junkie, anime lover, reader, enviromentalist, and into reilly weird comedy. I am into a lot of things, so if you feel you don't have anyone to share interests with, hit me up, I'm always down for talking about the coolest jive in the world.
