I’m 16 and still growing up, but I’ve always had this feeling of missing something in my life and yesterday someone helped me figure it out. I mean I’ve taught myself everything I need to know in life at this point. I’ve taught myself how to deal w/ a broken heart, how to deal with friend problems, if I didn’t get anything at school I would teach myself how to do it, I’ve taught myself self-discipline… kinda, heck I’ve taught myself how to deal w/ getting your period for the first time.
I never had those type of parents that supported me in what I did or even guide me in the right path other than telling me to get good grades and to not get pregnant. & having those type of parents, I would’ve expected to have an older sister to guide me and teach me morals in life that I should follow. But, I don’t. If I followed my sister’s steps, if she was my role model, I would probably be pregnant, doing drugs, drinking, and sneaking out every night to see my “boo”
Not having someone to guide me like that, I’ve practically had to teach myself my own morals I guess you can say. I’m glad that I didn’t turn out like those kids who “raise themselves” and just teach themselves the “fuck it” way of life.
I’m glad that I was able to teach myself right from wrong. I’m glad I was able to teach myself not to fall under peer pressure. I’m glad I didn’t turn out the way my sister is. I’m glad I turned out to be who I am today. I’m glad I turned out to be a hard worker and a good student. I’m glad I actually follow a goal in life to be successful by planning out what I’m gonna do in life & how I’m gonna get there. I may not have the best life, but realizing all of that in me w/ the help of just one person. I’m glad to be who I am today and always will be.
