My childhood (I don't like to be thought of as a child now) wasn't that good. I was born in Germany, we moved to Taxes, we moved to Tennesse, we moved back to Germany, and then back to Tennesse. I haven't lived in one place for more than 5 years. It's hard to get close to anyone when you keep moving.
The first time we moved to Tennesse is where I have my earliest memories from. I was in first grade then. My parents would fight almost every other day. My earliest memory is of my dad leaving after a bad fight, but he came back in the same day. Me and my brother would fight so much my mom said I almost killed him once. I had few real friends because I was a little odd then. My dad's side of the family that lives here, didn't want anything to do with us. My grandmother moved when we came, and my uncles and aunt didn't come around much. Well my one uncle ,Mike, I don't know because he doesn't want anything to do with the family and we don't want him. He supposedly touched a little girl inappropriately, so my dad doesn't want him near me. Then my mom's stepdad had a heart attack (her real dad died when she was 4). It was really hard on us. He died that year.
The second time we moved to Tennesse, my parents decided to stay. We've lived here for about 8 years now and in only two houses . In 4th grade I started getting bullied on almost a daily basis. I'm in 10th grade now, and I still get bullied horribly. My parents still fight, but more now than back then. They tell eachother all the time that they need a divorce. The longest they've gone without a fight is two days. My brother is a creeper! He will watch me take a shower if I forget to lock the bathroom door!! My aunt on my dad's side is in and out of jail. We have legal custody of her two girls. My great-grandmother died this year, I was pretty close to her. Everyone on my mom's side of the family took it really hard.
I guess I should be glad my dad's side of the family isn't around. All of them are into drugs, not a single one of them is clean. My aunt can't stay out of jail and is high 95% of the time, my uncle uses different drugs, my uncle's girlfriend is an alcholic, and my grandmother sells her meds and is crazy according to the government.
I really think my family and childhood has something to do with how I am now.
